If formals of gas are added to a container that already hold one mole of gas, how will the pressure change with in the container?

Answer 1

Serenity Allen

The ratio of the pressures will equal the ratio of the molar change.

Assuming "Four Moles" was meant, the total new amount is 5 moles. From the Ideal Gas Law, at constant temperature:

#5/1 = P_2/P_1#

So the new pressure will be five times the original pressure.

#P_2 = 5 xx P_1#

The pressure will increase proportionally to the number of moles of gas added, following the ideal gas law: ( PV = nRT ), where ( P ) is pressure, ( V ) is volume, ( n ) is the number of moles, ( R ) is the gas constant, and ( T ) is the temperature.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
