Chapter 19, Problem 19.8OQ

A cylinder with a piston contains a sample of a thin gas. The kind of gas and the sample size can be changed. The cylinder can be placed in different constant-temperature baths, and the piston can be held in different positions. Rank the following cases according to the pressure of the gas from the highest to the lowest, displaying any cases of equality, (a) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at .300 K in a 100-cm³ container. (b) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at 600 K in a 200-cm³ container, (c) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at 600 K in a 300-cm³ container, (d) A 0.004-mol sample of helium is held at .300 K in a 200-cm³ container, (e) A 0.004-mol sample of helium is held at 250 K in a 200-cm³ container.
