Question 14 • * SY2026-27 - 2003340 Chemistry 1 Sem 2 CR

If a gas is moved from a large container to a small container but its temperature and number of moles remain the same, what would happen to the pressure of the gas?

Answer
A
It would increase.
B
It would be halved.
C
It would stay the same.
D
It would slightly decrease.

Explanation

The ideal gas law is PV = nRT. Since the temperature and number of moles stay the same, pressure increases when volume decreases. Moving the gas into a smaller container reduces its volume, so its pressure would increase.
