The volume decreases to one-fourth of its original value. The volume increases to four times its original value. The volume increases to four times its original value. The volume increases to twice its original value. The volume increases to twice its original value. The volume decreases to half of its original value. The volume decreases to half of its original value.
1 answer
According to Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when the temperature is held constant, if the pressure of a gas decreases to half its original value, the volume will increase to twice its original value.
So the correct response is: The volume increases to twice its original value.
