Chapter 14, Problem 50A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine the pressure when temperature and volume do not change.

Concept Introduction: Ideal gas equation give the relation between temperature, pressure, and volume. The ideal gas equation can be shown as:

  $\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}$ .

Answer to Problem 50A

The gas will experience a rise in pressure.

Explanation of Solution

According to the ideal gas equation, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles. It can be expressed:

  $\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}$

So, by keeping the volume and temperature constant, pressure will be increased by increasing the number of moles.
