Problem
A rigid 1.0 L container holds nitrogen gas at 300 K and 1.0 atm. After the container is cooled to 80 K without changing the amount of gas, will the actual pressure be less than, equal to, or greater than the value predicted by the ideal-gas law? Identify the specific ideal-gas assumption whose breakdown explains this deviation.
