Gay-Lussacs law states that pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
in this case the volumes of the 2 containers remain the same therefore volume is constant.
P/ T = k
where P - pressure, T - temperature and k - constant
when temperature decreases the pressure too decreases and vice versa.
if temperature of one container is lowered the pressure also reduces.
since one containers temperature is lowered the pressure in that container reduces.
answer is when temperature is lowered, pressure too is lowered.
We can solve this problem when we use the conditions of a gas at standard temperature and pressure. It has been established that at STP where the temperature is 0 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 101.325 kPa, the volume of 1 mole of gas is 22.4 L. We will use this data for the calculations.
68.5 L ( 1 mol O2 / 22.4 L O2 ) = 3.06 mol O2
