Question

Use the following choices to complete the statements: stays the same, increases, decreases, inversely, directly. Choices may be used more than once or not be used at all.

a. When the volume of a container increases with no change to the amount of gas or temperature, the gas pressure ______________.

b. At a constant temperature and at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas ______________ when the quantity of mol of gas increases.

c. Pressure and temperature are ______________ proportional when volume and the quantity of mol of gas remain constant.

Explanation / Answer

a. When the volume of a container increases with no change to the amount of gas or temperature, the gas pressure Decreases. (Ref: Boyle's Law)

b. At a constant temperature and at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas Increases when the quantity of mol of gas increases. (Amount increase leads to volume increase, so as to maintain constant P and T)

c. Pressure and temperature are Directly proportional when volume and the quantity of mol of gas remain constant. (Increase in temperature will increase the number of collision, hence pressure increases)
