प्रश्न
A gas is contained in a metallic cylinder fitted with a piston. The piston is suddenly moved in to compress the gas and is maintained at this position. As time passes the pressure of the gas in the cylinder ______________ .
पर्याय
increases
decreases
remains constant
increases or decreases depending on the nature of the gas

उत्तर
decreases
As the piston of a metallic cylinder containing gas is moved to compress the gas, the volume in which the gas is contained reduces, leading to increase in pressure and temperature. When the time elapses, the heat generated radiates through the metallic cylinder as metals are good conductors of heat. Consequently, the pressure of the gas in the cylinder decreases because of decrease in the temperature.
