Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following? (a) Decrease the volume to one third the original volume while holding the temperature constant. increase the pressure by 3 times double the pressure     decrease the pressure by 1/3 remain the same (b) Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. increase by 2 times increase by 4 times     decrease by two times decrease by four times remain the same (c) Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. increase by 2 times decrease by 2 times     decrease by 4 times remain the same

Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?

(a) Decrease the volume to one third the original volume while holding the temperature constant.

  • increase the pressure by 3 times
  • double the pressure    
  • decrease the pressure by 1/3
  • remain the same

(b) Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant.

  • increase by 2 times
  • increase by 4 times    
  • decrease by two times
  • decrease by four times
  • remain the same

(c) Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant.

  • increase by 2 times
  • decrease by 2 times    
  • decrease by 4 times
  • remain the same
