Question

A compact sample will decompose at a ........... temperature than a loose sample.
(a) lower
(b) higher
(c) same
(d) same or lower​

Answer 1

Answer:

A compact sample will decompase at a same temparature than loose sample

Answer 2

Solution:

At constant volume, a compact sample has higher pressure than a loose sample.

From Ideal Gas Equation, $PV = nRT$

At constant volume, $P \propto T$

Greater is the pressure of sample, greater will be the temperature at which it decomposes.

A compact sample will decompose at a higher temperature than a loose sample.
