The ideal gas law is represented by PV = n.RT. As volume is held constant

Question

and the temperature increases, how would the pressure be expected to change? (1 point)
• It would decrease.
• It would become zero.
• It would remain constant.
• It would increase.

Answer 1

According to the ideal gas law, \( PV = nRT \), when the volume (V) is held constant and the temperature (T) increases, the pressure (P) must increase to maintain the equality, since the number of moles (n) and the gas constant (R) are also constant.

Therefore, the correct answer is: • It would increase.
