Question
Which of the following statements is false? a.Isobaric changes are those which occur at constant pressure.b.At constant temperature, Charles’ law applies.c.Boyle’s law applies at constant temperature.d.The pressure of a given mass of gas decreases as the volume is increased at constant temperature.Clear my choice
Solution
The false statement is d. "The pressure of a given mass of gas decreases as the volume is increased at constant temperature." This is actually a description of Boyle's Law, but it's incorrectly stated. According to Boyle's Law, the pressure of a given mass of gas increases as the volume is decreased at constant temperature.
