🙏🏻Can someone check my answer please For a particular sample of an ideal gas, suppose that the pressure is increased. Which of the following is a possible direct result? A) The number of moles of the gas will increase B) The volume of the gas will increase C) The universal gas constant will increase D) The temperature of the gas will increase I think it's either A or B. But if I had to chose I'd say A.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

The number of moles can't increase (or change for that matter) because the number of gas particles is fixed in a closed container. Look at the ideal gas law, PV=nRT, what must happen in order for the equality to remain true? try to plug in some numbers if you can't see it.
