What would happen to the pressure and temperature of a box as gas is added to it

1 Answer

When gas is added to the box, the number of molecules in the box will increase.

This will result in an increase in pressure as volume is fixed or constant.

As the box has a fixed volume, this will be an isochoric process.

In an isochoric process, the pressure is directly proportional to temperature, so the temperature will also increase.

Thus, pressure and temperature will increase when gas is added to a box.
