Question

How can you decrease the pressure of a gas in a container without changing the volume of the gas?

Answer 1

by lowering its temperature

Answer 2

add more gas particles to the container
move the container to a lower altitude
reduce the temperature of the gas
change the shape of the container

Answer 3

increasing temperature will also increase the pressure

Answer 4

Oh yeah, never mind

Answer 5

a b c or
d

Answer 6

d

Answer 7

lower = reduce

Answer 8

- check my first post.

Answer 9

change the shape of the container - unless you can somehow magically increase the size of the container, without changing the volume of the gas inside... Chemistry does not rely on magic.

Answer 10

A mixture of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen gases exerts a total pressure of 282 kPa. If the partial pressures of oxygen and hydrogen are 110 kPa and 106 kPa respectively, what is the partial pressure exerted by nitrogen?
216 kPa
176 kPa
106 kPa
66 kPa

@welshfella's answer
by lowering its temperature

I never thought there would still be a need to keep asking what the answer is.

@LuhVee1

Answer 13

u no that one

Answer 14

duh

Answer 15

@luhbanga i hope you realize that @LuhVee1's answer to the first was wrong.

Answer 16

charming!!!!

Answer 17

Nice @LuhVee1 LOL

Answer 18

\[PV=nRT\]where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles of gas, T is temperature and R is a constant.

in this problem, n, R, and V are all constant, so if you want P to go down, you have to make T go down
