If the volume of a container is increased, the pressure of the gas in the container also increases (when the amount of gas and temperature are held constant). TRUE FALSE

OpenStudy (photon336):

this is false i'll explain why

OpenStudy (photon336):

pressure = the amount of times the gas particles hit the walls of the container. Force per area. if we increase the volume, the gas particles hit the walls of the container less frequently and because of this the pressure goes down. |dw:1461807693225:dw|

OpenStudy (photon336):

Pressure and volume are inversely related that means if one goes up the other one must go down. |dw:1461807801708:dw|
