Air in a cylinder is compressed to one-tenth of its original volume without change in temperature. What happens to its pressure? Imagine now that a valve is opened in order to restore the initial pressure value. What percentage of the molecules have escaped?

Answer :

One-tenth of Original Volume

Explanation:

  • Air in a cylinder is compressed to one-tenth of its original volume without  a change in temperature then the pressure will be increased
  • If the valve is opened in order to restore the initial pressure value the molecules will be escaped
  • The percentage of the molecules that have escaped to attain the initial pressure will be equal to the one-tenth of its original volume
