Brian tried to keep his cool, but he broke down and started to cry. He continued to punish us with his words of despair. When he finished his lecture, he sent us back down stairs to our home-room.

Prediction: As the volume of the system increases, the system’s pressure will decrease. This is the case because at the particle level pressure occurs when particles collide with the object they are in or outside of.
