Question 16
F

A student compresses the gas in a sealed syringe very quickly. Why can the student not use pressure×volume=constant\text{pressure} \times \text{volume} = \text{constant}pressure×volume=constant to work out the new pressure of the gas?

[1]
A

The mass of the gas inside the syringe is not fixed.

B

The volume of the gas inside the syringe is too small.

C

The temperature of the gas does not stay constant.

D

The pressure of the gas is too large to be measured.
