Question

For many purposes we can treat propane (C3H8) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of −42.°C.

Suppose the temperature of a sample of propane gas is lowered from 60.0°C to 10.0°C, and at the same time the pressure is increased by 15.0%.

 

 

Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same?
 
increase
decrease
stays the same
 
 
 
 
 
If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in the volume. Round your answer to the nearest percent.
