Question

   Consider an ideal gas contained in aconfined volume. how would the pressure of the gas changeif..    a. the number of molecules of the gas were double, withoutchanging the container or the temperature? b. the volume of the container were doubled, without changingthe number of molecules or the temperature? c. the temperature (in K) of the gas were doubled, withoutchanging the number of molecules or the volume of thecontainer? d. the rms speed of the molecules were doubled, withoutchanging the number of molecures or the volume of thecontainer?    Consider an ideal gas contained in aconfined volume. how would the pressure of the gas changeif..    a. the number of molecules of the gas were double, withoutchanging the container or the temperature? b. the volume of the container were doubled, without changingthe number of molecules or the temperature? c. the temperature (in K) of the gas were doubled, withoutchanging the number of molecules or the volume of thecontainer? d. the rms speed of the molecules were doubled, withoutchanging the number of molecures or the volume of thecontainer?

Explanation / Answer


a. Doubling n will cause P to double because they are directlyproportional. b. Doubling V will cause P to decrease by half, because V andP are inversely proportional. c. Doubling T will cause P to double because they are directlyproportional. d. Increasing the rms speed will increase the T cause anincrease in pressure whose magnitude you can figure out if you knowthe relationship between rms speed and T, which honestly Idon't.
