thanks

I believe this has something to do with Boyle's Law (P = 1/v)

eljaja:

i understand the boyles law... do you happen to know anymore? on like what exactly happens?

https://opentextbc.ca/introductorychemistry/chapter/kinetic-molecular-theory-of-gases-2/ This is what is giving me my info, so according to this since the temperature is remaining constant, the average kinetic energy and the rms speed remain the same as well, and since the volume is remaining constant as well, the pressure will remain the same as well.

Here is the excerpt that gave me that. "2. The kinetic molecular theory can be used. Since the temperature is remaining constant, the average kinetic energy and the rms speed remain the same as well. The volume of the container has decreased, which means that the gas molecules have to move a shorter distance to have a collision. There will therefore be more collisions per second, causing an increase in pressure."

thank you! that helps a lot!
