Answer:
The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.
Explanation:
Here we have
P·V =n·R·T
n = P·V/(RT)
Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂
n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)
n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)
P₁ = 4 atm
P₂ = 2 atm
n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)
n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)
∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂
Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.
This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.

Answer: The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the surface area of contact decreases.
Explanation:
Pressure measures the amount of force exerted per a given area of an object. From this definition, the surface area of the object and force applied, affects the pressure applied.
As Benny presses his finger against a map, nothing happens to the map because the force applied is affected by the increased surface area of his finger. However as he presses a thumbtack into the map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map because the small( decreased) surface area of the sharp point of the thumbtack produces a much larger pressure on the map than the area of Benny finger. I hope this helps, thanks!
