If the pressure goes up, would that mean the volume would go down?

[705279989]

yes

[Sofia Ban]

yes, pressure and volume are inversely proportional (this is called Boyle's Law)

[Maria Poblete 2C]

Yes, if you think about it, the higher the pressure is, the less room there is for particles to move around.

[Amanda Mei 1B]

If temperature is held constant and there's a decrease in volume, the same amount of molecules will be moving in a smaller space and will collide more often, leading to an increase in pressure. If volume increases, molecules will have more space and collide less frequently, decreasing pressure.

If the pressure goes up, would that mean the volume would go down?

Believe it depends on which container and context, but from what I’ve seen in the lecture, yes. It’s like, if you double the pressure, then you halved the volume. Hope this helps. :)

[Leyna Dang 2H]

yes, because the molecules will have less space to move around

If the pressure goes up, would that mean the volume would go down?

Can’t pressure go up with T going up from PV=nRT with no effect on volume?

[Madeline Phan 1E]

Yes, pressure and volume are inversely related.
