One mole of certain gas is confined in a container. Suppose every molecule has decomposed and given rise to- two new molecules. Let's assume (for this purpose ) it requires negligible amount of energy for the molecule to decompose (or not any energy at all). So what will we observe?
The amount of matter has been doubled by the process, so pressure should increase- that's obvious. What happens to the temperature?
Does it stay the same OR increase?
Once I thought it should increase but the ideal gas formula seems to suggest the other.
Here
R/V=P/nT=constant (from PV=nRT)
when n increase P tends to increase and T tends to decrease to keep R/V a constant.
It is also possible that Temperature increase and so pressure increase -..But this time pressure should increase high for it is pushed up by both increase in Pressure and Temperature.
Please help me
