Effect of Pressure and Temperature on Gas Volume

Medium General Chemistry Gas Phase

A gas occupies a volume of 10.0 L at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 300 K. Under which of the following conditions will the gas have the greatest volume?

Consider the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature as described by the ideal gas law (PV = nRT).

Increasing the pressure to 4.0 atm while keeping temperature constant.

Decreasing the temperature to 150 K while keeping pressure constant at 2.0 atm.

Decreasing the pressure to 1.0 atm while keeping temperature constant at 300 K.

Increasing the temperature to 600 K while keeping pressure constant at 2.0 atm.
