A container of gas is held at a constant volume. Which will most likely happen to the temperature if the pressure of the gas increases?

The temperature will increase at the same rate as the pressure increases.

The temperature will decrease at the same rate as the pressure increases.

The temperature will increase at half the same rate as the increase in pressure.

Answer:

With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure. The number of particles is proportional to pressure, if the volume of the container and the temperature remain constant. ... This happens when the temperature is increased.

Explanation:

Assuming the gas to be an ideal gas, the temperature will increase at the same rate as the pressure increases.

Ideal gas:

Let us assume that the gas in the container is an ideal gas. Then from the ideal gas equation, we get that:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

T is the temperature

n is the number of moles of the gas

R  is the universal gas constant

Now, it is given that V is constant, R is already a constant, and n will also be constant, since the number of moles of gas in the container is not changing, so:

P = nRT/V

P = constant × T

P/T = constant

This means that the temperature will increase at the same rate as the pressure increases.
