At constant temperature, the volume of the container that a sample of nitrogen gas is in is doubled.As a result the pressure of the nitrogen gas is halved.The amount of nitrogen gas is unchanged in this process.This is an example of:
A)Boyle's Law
B)Charles's Law
C)Gay-Lussac's Law
D)Avogadro's Law
E)Dalton's Law

This scenario represents Boyle's Law which states that at a constant temperature, the pressure (P) of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume (V), or P1V1=P2V2. In this case, when the volume (V) is doubled, the pressure (P) is halved, indicating an inverse relationship. The amount of gas (n) is constant, so it is not relevant to this law.

At Constant Temperature, the Volume of the Container That a Sample
