A sample of gas in a temperature controlled environment has a volume of 5.0 L and a pressure of 2 atm. If the final volume increases to 6 L what is the final pressure of the gas?
What variable does not change in this scenario?

Answer:
The variable that does not change in this scenario is B. Temperature.
This is a scenario of Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship when the temperature is held constant. In this case, the problem doesn't mention any change in temperature, so we can assume that the temperature is controlled and remains constant. Therefore, as the volume of the gas increases, the pressure decreases, and vice versa, while the temperature stays the same.
