Interpretation: Comprehend the relation of gas volume with gas pressure.
Concept Introduction: The volume is defined as the space taken up by an object. Thus, the volume is a measure of complete size of an object.
Answer to Problem 1TAI
The gas pressure is inversely propositional to volume of gas.
Explanation of Solution
The gas pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas. This is because as the gas pressure increases, the gas particles come close to each other. It decreases the intermolecular distance between particles and volume decreases.
Similarly, as the pressure decreases, the intermolecular distance between particles increases that increase the volume of gas.
Overall pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.
