Chapter , Problem 10.2(choose chapter or problem)
You have a sample of gas in a container with a movable piston, such as the one in the drawing. (a) Redraw the container to show what it might look like if the temperature of the gas is increased from 300 to 500 K while the pressure is kept constant. (b) Redraw the container to show what it might look like if the external pressure on the piston is increased from 1.0 atm to 2.0 atm while the temperature is kept constant. (c) Redraw the container to show what it might look like if the temperature of the gas decreases from 300 to 200 K while the pressure is kept constant (assume the gas does not liquefy).

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
a)
Given that, the temperature of the gas is increased from 300 K to 500 K, keeping the pressure constant. According to Charles Law, the volume and the temperature of a gas are related directly, at constant pressure.
Therefore,
The image of the container after increasing the temperature is:
