PV=nRT: Volume of Container or Gas? Impact on Temperature?

[abdo799]

i had a question PV=nRT
is the V the volume of the container or the gas

and if it was the container
and i had a balloon and i squeezed it decreasing the volume increasing the pressure
will that increase the temperature?

thank you

is the V the volume of the container or the gas

How can the volume of the container be different from the volume of the gas?

No, it would just increase the pressure.

 

[abdo799]

what's the kind of compression will result in
an increase temperature then?

I can clarify that in the equation PV=nRT, V represents the volume of the gas. This means that if you change the volume of the container, it will not affect the temperature of the gas. However, if you change the volume of the gas by squeezing a balloon, the pressure will increase and according to the ideal gas law, the temperature will also increase. This is because as the volume decreases, the gas molecules will have less space to move around and they will collide more frequently, resulting in an increase in temperature. It is important to note that this is only true if the amount of gas (n) and the other variables (P, T, R) remain constant. Any changes in these variables can also affect the temperature. I hope this clarifies your question.
