Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between pressure and temperature for a fixed amount of gas at constant volume?
  • Step 1: Understand that we are looking at a fixed amount of gas, meaning the quantity of gas does not change.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the volume of the gas is constant, so it does not expand or contract.
  • Step 3: Learn about pressure, which is the force that gas particles exert on the walls of their container.
  • Step 4: Learn about temperature, which is a measure of the average energy of the gas particles.
  • Step 5: Know that Gay-Lussac's law states that if the volume is constant, the pressure of a gas increases as the temperature increases.
  • Step 6: Conclude that pressure and temperature are directly proportional, meaning if one goes up, the other goes up too.
