Question

Some students want to investigate the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas. They take a sealed, thin-walled metal can full of air, place it in a vat of liquid nitrogen, and observe that the can collapses. Another student says that their procedure is a better demonstration of the effect of temperature on another property of the gas. Which of the following properties of the gas does the procedure best relate to temperature?
a. Volume.
b. Pressure.
c. The amount of gas.
d. The universal gas constant.

Answer 1

The ideal gas equation allows finding that the best variable for the temperature experiment is:

           a. Pressure

           b. Volume

Ideal gases are gases that do not have any interaction between their molecules, they are described by the relationship

            P V = n R T

Where P is the pressure, V the volume, n the number of moles, R the ideal gas constant and T the absolute temperature.

In the problem the students want to study the effect of temperature with ideal gases equation we see that pressure and volume are directly proportional to temperature.

Of these two properties, the easiest to measure is pressure, keeping the volume constant.

In conclusion using the ideal gas equations allows finding that the best variable for the temperature experiment  are :  

           a. Pressure

           b. volume
