Question

the ideal gas law is represented by $pv = nrt$. as volume is held constant and the temperature increases, how would the pressure be expected to change? (1 point)
it would increase.
it would decrease.
it would remain constant.
it would become zero.

Explanation:

Step1: Rearrange ideal - gas law

Given $PV = nRT$, when $V$ is constant, we can write $P=\frac{nR}{V}T$. Here, $\frac{nR}{V}$ is a constant. Let $k = \frac{nR}{V}$, so $P = kT$.

Step2: Analyze the relationship

Since $k>0$ (as $n$, $R$, and $V$ are positive - valued physical quantities), when $T$ increases, $P$ will also increase because $P$ is directly proportional to $T$.

Answer:

It would increase.
