A student is monitoring the pressure of a gas in a rigid container. The amount of gas particles and the volume of the container are held constant. How will the pressure be affected if the container is cooled over time?

a.The gas pressure will decrease.

b.The gas pressure will increase.

c.The gas pressure will remain constant.

If in a rigid container, the amount of gas particles and volume of the container is held constant, the pressure will decrease if the temperature is reduced.

Gases are highly random particles and they require a high amount of kinetic energy to be in their state of matter.
In a condition where volume of container is fixed, the amount of gas particles is fixed and the temperature reduced, the kinetic energy of the gas particles will directly reduce.
The kinetic energy of gases is directly related to temperature.

Answer:

a.The gas pressure will decrease.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law says that the pressure of an amount of gas with constant volume is directely proportional to kelvin temperature. In other words, if pressure goes up helding amount of gas and volume constants, temperature goes up too.

Thus, for the problem, if the container is cooled over time, a.The gas pressure will decrease.

I hope it helps!
