If the volume and moles of a container are held constant, the temperature of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

TRUE

FALSE

FALSE

Explanation:

Assuming that the gas is ideal

Therefore the gas obeys the ideal gas equation

Ideal gas equation is P * V = n * R * T

where

P is the pressure exerted by the gas

V is the volume occupied by the gas

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas

Here volume of the gas will be the volume of the container

Given the volume of the container and number of moles of the gas are constant

As R will also be constant, the pressure of the gas will be directly proportional to the temperature of the gas

P ∝ T

∴ Pressure will be directly proportional to the temperature
