Question

What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a container if the temperature of the gas decreases?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation

P V = n RT

where, P is pressure, V is volume , n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature of the gas.

According to the equation, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. As the temperature decreases, the pressure of the gas also decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Pressure Increases

Explanation:

When the temperature of a gas is increased inside a container then the pressure of the gas inside the container increases.

This can be deduced by the Ideal Gas law equation:

$P.V=n.R.T$

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = no. of moles of gas

R = universal gas constant

$T=$ temperature of the gas

So,

$P\propto T$ hence the pressure of the gas will increase while the temperature is increased at a constant volume
