Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas?

a. increasing the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure.
b. increasing the temperature of a gas increases the pressure.
c. increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume.
d. increasing the pressure on a gas increases the volume.

Hey there!

The answer to this question would most likely be the 3rd choice, (option C)

Increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
