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 a gas to be reduced in volume under pressure. According to Boyle's law, at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied to it. So, increasing the pressure on a gas decreases its volume.

Answer:

Increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume.
