Question
A gas is contained in a metallic cylinder fitted with a piston. The gas is suddenly compressed by pushing piston downward and is maintained at this position. After this process, as time passes the pressure of the gas in the cylinder
Options
A.increases
B.decreases
C.remains constant
D.increases or decreases depending on the nature of the gas.
Solution
As Volume decreases
∴ pressure of the gas in the cylinder increases
∴ pressure of the gas in the cylinder increases
