At a constant temperature, the pressure, P, and volume, V, of a trapped gas have the relationship P equals the quotient of k divided by V , where k is some positive constant. What occurs if the volume is compressed such that V → 0+?

Question

The pressure increases without bound.

The pressure decreases without bound.

The pressure approaches zero.

The pressure remains constant.

Answer 1

P = k/V
as v->0, P->∞
