Question

Figure shows a cylinder containing gas compressed by the movement of a piston.
Initially the volume of the gas was 470cm3. The piston moves up and and compresses the gas to a volume of 60cm3. The whole arrangement is left for some time until the gas cools to its original temperature. The pressure of the gas is now 800kPa.
Explain, in terms of molecules the effect on the pressure of the gas if it was not given time to cool to its original temperature.

Solution

we knwo that PV=nRT
where P is pressure and V is volume.
P2=800kPa
V1=470cm3 and V2=60cm3
If it was not given time to cool to its original temperature
Then Temperature would be higher because and speed of molecule would increase.
