Question
Chapter 21.3, Problem 2QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The change in the pressure of the container, when the volume increases or decreases.
Introduction:
The pressure gradient can be defined as a contrast in the pressure of two different regions. This can result in the movement of gas molecules from the region of high pressure to one of low pressure.
