How is the relationship between number of moles and temperature possible?
May 8th, 2008
Arri asked:
According to the ideal gas law, the number of moles would need to increase as the temperature decreases and it would need to decrease if the temperature increases. Why is this? Wouldn’t temperature rise if there are more moles since there will be more “bumping” going on? Also, if it’s not too much to ask, can someone give an example to help my understanding of this concept? Thanks in advance!
