1 Answer

2 votes

Answer: The pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.

Explanation: As the temperature decreases, the particles of gas start moving more slowly. The particles' velocity decreases and as it collides with the wall of the container, it exerts a less force on the walls of the container. This follows on from the equation Ft = mv - mu. Less force therefore means less pressure as force and pressure are proportional according to equation Pressure = Force / Area.
