Interpretation: To determine why gas pressure decreased when gas is removed from the container with the fixed volume.
Concept Introduction: Ideal gas equation give the relation between temperature, pressure, and volume. The ideal gas equation can be shown as:
Answer to Problem 52A
There are fewer collisions and a lower pressure when the particles are evacuated from the container.
Explanation of Solution
When gas will be removed from a container then the pressure will be decreased. The gas molecules will have more room to move about in a container if the volume is reduced. They will thus hit the container's walls less frequently, decreasing pressure.
Therefore, there are fewer collisions and a lower pressure when the particles are evacuated from the container
