Q: In a closed system, what happens to the total pressure when the volume is decreased at constant temperature?
Solution:
According to Boyle's Law, decreasing the volume of a gas at constant temperature increases the pressure.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that we have a closed system, meaning no gas can enter or leave.
Step 2: Recognize that we are keeping the temperature constant while changing the volume.
Step 3: Recall Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely related when temperature is constant.
Step 4: Realize that if we decrease the volume of the gas, the space for the gas molecules becomes smaller.
Step 5: Understand that with less space, the gas molecules collide with the walls of the container more often.
Step 6: Conclude that because of these more frequent collisions, the pressure inside the container increases.
