A falsk is filled with air and tightly stoppered at room temperature. The flask is then placed in melting ice. The flask stays the same size. In the flask, what happens to the pressure of the air?

Answer:

pressure is lower than the one in room temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

by Gay-Lussac's Law

  • known as the Pressure Temperature Law
  • This states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature

P ∝ T

Simply when the temperature decreases , the pressure decreases too

here the flask in ice has a lower temperature.

there for the pressure inside the cold flask is lower than the one in the room temperature
