Question
question 1
which scenario would lead to increased air pressure?
the air expanding
the air warming
the air gaining moisture
the air cooling
Based on the ideal - gas law $PV = nRT$ (where $P$ is pressure, $V$ is volume, $n$ is the amount of gas, $R$ is the ideal - gas constant, and $T$ is temperature), when the volume and amount of gas are constant, pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Cooling the air decreases its temperature. According to the ideal - gas law, this would lead to an increase in air pressure if other factors remain constant. Expanding air typically decreases pressure, warming air increases volume and usually decreases pressure (assuming constant amount of gas), and gaining moisture doesn't directly lead to an increase in air pressure in the context of basic gas laws.
