Answer: Decreasing the temperature inside the container will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container.
Explanation:
According to Gay-Lussac's Law : 'The pressure of the gas increases with increase in temperature of the gas when volume of the gas is kept constant'.
At constant volume, pressure of the gas will decrease on decreasing the temperature or vice versa.
Decreasing the temperature inside the container will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container.
Answer:
Towards the big bully
Explanation:
If a big bully and a small child are involved in a thug of war, it is clear that the bully is stronger than the child and he/she will pull the rope used in the thug of war with a greater force.
By so doing, the ball attached at the centre of the rope will naturally be drawn towards the stronger bully.
Use the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
so, T = PV / nR
n=0.5
V= 120 dm^3 = 120 L (1 dm^3 = 1 L)
R = 1/12
P = 15,000 Pa = 0.147 atm (1 pa = 9.86 10^{-6} )
Put the values:
T = PV / nR
T = (0.147) (120) / (0.5) (1/12)
T= 426 K
