What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small a large container?
The gas will expand and the air pressure will decrease because the gas will have more room to move. Gas has no definite shape or volume so it is always trying to expand and move and the higher the temperature the more the energy the gas has to expand.
