According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the pressure of an enclosed gas decreases to half its original value, the volume of the gas will increase to twice its original value.
The correct answer is: c The volume increases to twice its original value.
As the pressure of an enclosed gas decreases to half its original value, what happens to the volume of the gas if temperature is held constant? a The volume increases to four times its original value. b The volume decreases to half of its original value. c The volume increases to twice its original value. d The volume decreases to one-fourth of its original value.
