Neon gas occupies a metal container of 5.5 l at stp (273 k, 1 atm). the volume of the metal container cannot be changed. what will happen to the pressure if the temperature rises to 300k? a. it will fall to 0.7 atm. b. it will fall to 0.9 atm. c. it will rise to 1.1 atm. d. it will rise to 1.3 atm.

C. It will rise to 1.1 atm

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

    (At constant volume and number of moles)

where,

= initial pressure of gas  = 1 atm

= final pressure of gas  = ?

= initial temperature of gas  =  

= final temperature of gas = 300 K

Thus the final pressure will be 1.1 atm

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
