If the pressure of an ideal gas is decreased by \(10 \%\) isothermally, then its volume will

  1. A decrease by \(8 \%\)
  2. B decrease by \(9 \%\)
  3. C increase by \(8 \%\)
  4. D increase by \(11 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) increase by \(11 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For isothermal process, \(\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1=\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{P}_2=\mathrm{P}_1-\frac{\mathrm{P}_1}{10}=\frac{9}{10} \mathrm{P}_1 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1=\frac{9}{10} \mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_2 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{V}_2=\frac{10}{9} \mathrm{~V}_1 \\
& =1.11 \mathrm{~V}_1 \\
& =\mathrm{V}_1+0.11 \mathrm{~V}_1
\end{aligned}
\)
Volume increase by \(11 \%\)
