The Ideal Gas Law

Question 2 • LA-Chemistry A

A gas has experienced a small increase in volume but has maintained the same pressure and number of moles. According to the ideal gas law, how has the temperature of the gas changed?

Answer
A
It has increased two times.
B
It has increased slightly.
C
It has decreased slightly.
D
It has stayed the same.

Explanation

The ideal gas law is PV = nRT. With pressure and the number of moles unchanged, volume is directly proportional to temperature, so a small increase in volume means the temperature has increased slightly. The correct choice is “It has increased slightly.”
