When air in a syringe is compressed such that there is no change in temperature, the
A.
air liquefies
B.
pressure increases
C.
intermolecular space increases
D.
density decreases
Correct answer is B
Since the temperature of air remain constant.So, it is a isothermal process.
PV=K
This eq. shows that on increasing pressure, the volume gets reduced and vice-versa.
Since the syringe is slowly compressed, volume is decreasing.
Therefore, the pressure inside the syringe will increases because the molecules now hit the syringe walls more frequently.
