Question

In the virtual lab demo, a student adds particles to a container. While the temperature is held constant the initial volume of the container is 100 nm. The pressure fluctuates around what amount? ____

When the container volume is changed to half its volume (5.0 nm), the pressure ____ to ____ the initial pressure amount. The new pressure is now about: ____

Answer 1

In the virtual lab demo, a student adds particles to a container. While the temperature is held constant, the initial volume of the container is 100 nm. The pressure fluctuates around what amount? P1 (please specify the initial pressure value for completion).

When the container volume is changed to half its volume (5.0 nm), the pressure increases to twice the initial pressure amount. The new pressure is now about: P2 = 2 * P1 (where P1 is the initial pressure).

If you provide the initial pressure value, we can calculate the exact new pressure.
