Question

In which flask is the pressure the highest when the volume increases? a. Flask 1: tiny b. Flask 2: small c. Flask 3: moderate d. Flask 4: huge

Answer 1

b) Flask 2: small.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, when the volume increases, the pressure decreases, following the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature. Therefore, in the flask with the smallest volume, which is "Flask 2: small," the pressure will be the highest. So the correct answer is b) Flask 2: small.
