question 79

Multiple Choice

The volume V (in liters) of a certain mass of gas is related to its pressure P (in millimeters of mercury) and its temperature T (in degrees Kelvin) by the law Compute and when T = 260 and P = 700.

• A) ; The volume increases by 0.044 L when the temperature increases by 1 degree (beyond 260
• K) and the pressure is fixed at 700 mm of mercury. The volume increases by 0.016 L when the pressure increases by 1 mm of mercury (beyond 700 mm) and the temperature is fixed at 260 K.
• B) ; The volume increases by 0.044 L when the temperature increases by 1 degree (beyond 260
• K) and the pressure is fixed at 700 mm of mercury. The volume decreases by 0.016 L when the pressure increases by 1 mm of mercury (beyond 700 mm) and the temperature is fixed at 260 K.
• C) ; The volume increases by 0.044 L when the temperature decreases by 1 degree (beyond 260
• K) and the pressure is fixed at 700 mm of mercury. The volume decreases by 0.016 L when the pressure increases by 1 mm of mercury (beyond 700 mm) and the temperature is fixed at 260 K.
• D) ; The volume increases by 0.044 L when the temperature increases by 1 degree (beyond 260
• K) and the pressure is fixed at 700 mm of mercury. The volume increases by 0.016 L when the pressure increases by 1 mm of mercury (beyond 700 mm) and the temperature is fixed at 260 K.
