Question 6 • Chemistry

Which step will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container?

Answer
A
increasing the speed of the gas particles
B
decreasing the temperature inside the container
C
decreasing the volume of the container
D
increasing the number of moles of gas

Explanation

For a fixed amount of gas in a closed container with constant volume, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature (P = nRT/V). Decreasing the temperature therefore decreases the pressure, so the correct choice is “decreasing the temperature inside the container.”
