Answer:
A. The pressure will increase 4 times. P₂ = 4 P₁
B. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁
C. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁
Explanation:
Initially, we have n₁ moles of a gas that occupy a volume V₁ at temperature T₁ and pressure P₁.
<em>What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?</em>
<em />
<em>Part A: Decrease the volume to one-fourth the original volume while holding the temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>
V₂ = 0.25 V₁. According to Boyle's law,
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . 0.25 V₁
P₁ = P₂ . 0.25
P₂ = 4 P₁
<em>Part B: Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>
T₂ = 0.5 T₁. According to Gay-Lussac's law,
<em>Part C: Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>
n₂ = 0.5 n₁.
P₁ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:
P₂ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:
