Question:

Which of the following laws states that with the temperature remaining constant, the volume of a given mass of a gas varies inversely with the pressure of the gas?

Options:

Graham's Law

Kepler's Law

Charles's Law

Boyle's Law

Correct Answer:

Boyle's Law

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. Boyle's Law.

The law that states that with the temperature remaining constant, the volume of a given mass of a gas varies inversely with the pressure of the gas is Boyle's Law.

Boyle's Law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. It states that when the temperature of a gas remains constant, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. In mathematical terms, Boyle's Law can be expressed as:

\[P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\]

Where:

\(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are the initial and final pressures of the gas,

\(V_1\) and \(V_2\) are the initial and final volumes of the gas.

This law was named after Robert Boyle, an Irish physicist and chemist, who first formulated it in the 17th century.
