Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container?

<u>The pressure in the gas container is increased by </u><u>reducing the volume</u><u> of the gas and also by </u><u>adding more gas </u><u>to the container. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

The pressure of the gas is given by the Boyle’s law. It states that at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas. The expression for the Boyle’s law is written as.

\begin{gathered}p\propto \frac{1}{v} \\\Rightarrow pv = {\text{constant}} \\\end{gathered}

Therefore, if the volume of the gas container is reduced, it will lead to the increase in the pressure of the gas inside the container.

On the other hand, if the amount of gas inside the container is increased, the number of molecules hitting the per unit area of the wall will be increased and this will also lead to the increase in the pressure of the gas inside the container.

Thus, the pressure of the gas inside the container is increased by decreasing the volume of the gas and also by increasing the amount of gas inside the container.

C. Both A. and B.

Explanation:

Statement A. Reducing the volume is true because of Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at fixed temperature, the pressure p and the volume V are inversely proportional:

pV=const.

Therefore, when the volume V is reduced, the pressure p increases.

Statement B. Adding more gas is also true: in fact, if we add gas into the container, we will have more molecules of the gas hitting the wall of the container. But the pressure of a gas is exactly given by this: by the collision of the molecules against the wall of the container, so the more the molecules of gas, the greater the pressure.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.

Lorico [155]

Work = (force) x (distance)

The worker does  (40N) x (4m) = 160 joules of work.

Friction eats up    (27N) x (4m) = 108 joules of that energy,
                                                         generating 108  joules of heat.                         

The remaining    (160J - 108J) = 52 joules of energy moves the box.
