Question

In a cylinder with a movable piston that responds to volume changes, what are the results of the following on the volume of the clyinder?
A) the kelvin temperature is decreased to 0.5 of its original value
B) the amount of gas in the cylinder is reduced by 1/3 while the pressure and temperature remain constant. In a cylinder with a movable piston that responds to volume changes, what are the results of the following on the volume of the clyinder?

B) the amount of gas in the cylinder is reduced by 1/3 while the pressure and temperature remain constant.

Explanation / Answer

using PV = nRT

a) as T becomes 0.5 then, volumes also becomes half

b) as Volume is reduced to 1/3rd so the volume becomes 1/3rd of actual
