Leandro Esparza · Answer 1

Answer:Volume of the container will decrease

Explanation:

Given that the gas is trapped, so the gas cant escape.

The number of moles of gas inside the container will remain constant.

The initial and final pressures are the same.

So, pressure can be taken as constant.

Charles law states that at constant temperature, volume of a system is directly proportional to the temperature of the system.

Since the temperature is lowered, volume also decreases.
