Ideal Gas Law

Classical Mechanics Level 4

A container exists with walls at initial temperature T 1 T_1 . It contains a gas of temperature T T . Does the gas exert a higher pressure on the walls of the container when T > T 1 T>T_1 or T < T 1 T<T_1 ?

T > T 1 T>T_1 The pressure is the same. More information is needed. T < T 1 T<T_1

p T = n R V = C o n s t a n t \frac{p}{T}=\frac{nR}{V}=Constant

Case 1:T>T1

then the final gas temperature will lower than initial, so pressure will also lower.

Case 2:T<T1

then the final gas temperature will higher than initial, so pressure will also higher.
