3 attempts left C Check my work Be sure to answer all parts. Consider a gas in a container with a movable piston. What happens to the gas particles if the piston is moved to decrease the volume of the container? What happens to the pressure if give one -half of the original volume of the cylinder? the piston is moved to Before If the piston is moved to give one-half of the original volume of the cylinder, the pressure will (select) How many gas particles should be in the same molecular-level volume shown after the volume is reduced to one-half the original volume? atoms

Explanation / Answer

Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

So, we get PV = constant, so if volume is halved then the pressure will be double

P1V1 = P2V2

Now, since V2 = V1/2, we get the P2 = 2P1

Pressure will be doubled

2)

The number of atoms will remain the same, hence the answer will be 4 atoms
