Question

If the pressure applied to a set amount of an ideal gas is held constant and the temperature is increased, the volume will

Answer 1

We will look at this from the perspectiev of the Ideal Gas Law.

Here, is the gas constant. As per the conditions given, the amount() is constant, as well as the pressure().

We on our part are examining the relation between the an increasing temperature and the volume.

So we rearrange the equation to present the volume as a function of the temperature.

We can see that since everything except the temperature on the right are constant, increasing the temperature will cause the volume to increase.
