Question

which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas? increasing the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure. increasing the temperature of a gas increases the pressure. increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume. increasing the pressure on a gas increases the volume.

Explanation:

Compressibility of a gas refers to the ability of its volume to change with pressure. According to Boyle's law, at a constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely - proportional. So, increasing the pressure on a gas decreases its volume.

Answer:

Increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume.
