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

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

Sorry for posting in math guys ):

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

I don't blame you for posting in math. Hard to get a response on other subjects, I'll help you though. :)

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

Okay thanks!

OpenStudy (ambuj):

its false

OpenStudy (tay1lynn):

I think it is true...but I could be wrong

OpenStudy (ambuj):

as pv=nRT

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Ambuj that's wrong.

OpenStudy (ambuj):

pressure inversely proportional to volume

OpenStudy (tay1lynn):

u mean I was right?

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

the formula is pv = k

OpenStudy (ambuj):

so from this p=k\v

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

When the volume of a gas shrinks, the gas molecules have less space to move around and so they hit their container more often. The more frequently the gas impacts the container walls, the higher the pressure. So, as volume decreases, the pressure increases. If the container expands, the impacts are less frequent and the pressure decreases. This relationship can be described using mathematics as well. Mathematically, Boyle’s Law states that PV = k where k is any constant. Boyle’s Law is important for both astronauts and divers. Since the pressure in space is near zero, space suits have to be able to withstand the expansion of the air that is within the suit when the astronaut goes outside. When divers are surfacing, they must exhale. If they don’t, the air that is held in their lungs will expand and could rupture the lung tissue. This experiment shows how the volume of the air in whipped cream reacts to lowering pressure

OpenStudy (ambuj):

so if we increase v then p will decrease my friend

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

I know I was claiming your formula was wrong, but the answer is false.

OpenStudy (ambuj):

my formula is absolutely right

OpenStudy (ambuj):

its ideal gas law

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

idk now I got the answer, but... Who to give the medal to?

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Whoever you think deserves it.

OpenStudy (ambuj):

the one who give answer first lol

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

Ambuj gave me the answer first, so him.

OpenStudy (ambuj):

thank you some had medal me

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

He didn't give an explanation, just an answer. But whatever man.

OpenStudy (ambuj):

@tay11ynn so you are not right
