Homework Statement
An ideal gas is kept in a container of constant volume. The pressure of the gas is also kept constant
(a) If the number of molecules in the gas is doubled, does the rms speed increase, decrease, or stay the same?
(b) If the initial rms speed is 1300 , what is the final rms speed?
Homework Equations
PV=nRT...I think
The Attempt at a Solution
For part I, I believe the rms speed decreases. So if the only thing changing is the number of molecules wouldn't doubling the molecules cause rms to decrease by half? I know the answer is no, because the computer said so, I'm just not sure why it's wrong. And how much does it decrease then?
