In order to increase the volume of a gas by \(10 \%\) at constant temperature the pressure of the gas should be

  1. A increased by \(10 \%\)
  2. B increased by \(1 \%\)
  3. C decreased by \(1 \%\)
  4. D decreased by \(10 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) decreased by \(10 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume is inversely proposed to pressure based on the boyle's law. So, to increase the volume of a gas by \(10 \%\), the pressure of the gas should be decreased by \(10 \%\). Hence, option (4) is correct.
