Question

The diagrams represent the same number of particles of a gas in 2 containers D snd E, Which have different volume. the two containers are at the same temperature.
in which container will the pressure be higher ?explain your answer​

Answer 1

In container E, the pressure will be higher than container D

Further explanation

Given

Container with :

• the same particles
• the same temperature
• the different volume

Required

The higher pressure container

Solution

Boyle's Law  stated that :

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

$\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}$

From the diagram (picture), it shows that the volume of container D is greater than container E, so the pressure applied to container D will be less than the pressure applied to container E
