For a gas at low pressure p and constant temperature T has volume V equals to

  • A.constant/p
  • B.V/p
  • C.P/V
  • D.p

Answer: A

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional:

\[ pV = \text{constant} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad V = \frac{\text{constant}}{p} \]

Halving the pressure therefore doubles the volume. The approximation holds best at low pressure, where the gas is close to ideal.
