In one or two sentences, describe a scenario using the combined gas law in which changes occur in the pressure and temperature of an enclosed gas but the volume does not change.

Answer 1

A sealed, rigid container holding gas is heated from 20°C to 100°C, causing the pressure inside the container to increase from 1 atm to approximately 5 atm, as the volume remains constant. This scenario exemplifies the combined gas law, which relates pressure, volume, and temperature by showing how pressure rises with an increase in temperature for a fixed volume.
