The volume is halved.

Question 5

Which of the following is the correct SI unit for pressure?

Accepted Answer

Pa

Question 12

A 10.0 L flask is filled with H$$_2$$ gas at 2.0 atm. If the temperature is decreased and the volume remains constant, what happens to the pressure?

Accepted Answer

The pressure decreases.

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT a property of gases?

Accepted Answer

Gases occupy nearly 100% of the volume of their containers.

Question 14

If the temperature of a gas is increased at constant pressure, what happens to the velocity of the gas particles?

Accepted Answer

The velocity increases.

Question 15

Which of the following correctly expresses Avogadro's Law?

Accepted Answer

$$V \propto n$$

Question 16

A graph of pressure vs. volume for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature will show:

Accepted Answer

A hyperbola (curve) showing inverse relationship.

Question 17

Which of the following is true about the relationship between volume and temperature for a gas at constant pressure?

Accepted Answer

Volume increases as temperature increases.

Question 18

If the number of moles of gas in a container is tripled at constant temperature and pressure, what happens to the volume?

Accepted Answer

The volume is tripled.
