A sample of methane gas at 307 K and 0.718 atm occupies a volume of 1.24 L. If the pressure of the gas is decreased, while at the same time it is cooled to a lower temperature, the final gas volume
will be larger than 1.24 L.
could be larger or smaller than 1.24 L depending on the final pressure and temperature.
will be smaller than 1.24 L.
could be larger or smaller than 1.24 L depending on the final pressure and temperature.
When the pressure is decreased and the gas is cooled to a lower temperature, the gas molecules will move slower and occupy less space. However, if the pressure is decreased enough, the gas can expand to a larger volume. The final volume will depend on the final pressure and temperature of the gas.
