Which of the following is the most accurate statement concerning volume and pressure of a gas?

Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in any container.


Volume of a gas is always greater than pressure of that gas in any container.


Volume of a gas is directly proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.


Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Verified Answer :

"Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container" is correct. This comes from Boyle's law, which states that Pressure is proportional to 1/V, so as the volume increases, the pressure decreases.

Answer : Volume and pressure of a gas has inverse relationship.

Explanation :

Boyle's law gives the relation between the pressure and volume of the gas. He states that at the constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas and vice versa.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

\(P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}\)

or  

\(V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\)

Hence, the correct option is (d) " Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas in any container".
