When the ideal gas is compressed isothermally, then its pressure

  1. A increases
  2. B decreases
  3. C remains the same
  4. D first increases and then decreases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to isothermal condition, \(p V=K\) (constant) i.e. \(\quad p \propto \frac{1}{V} \quad\left[\because p=\frac{K}{V}\right]\) So, in isothermal compression, when volume decreases, pressure increases.
