Agas has experienced a small increase in volume but has maintained the same pressure and number of moles. according to the ideal gas law, how has the temperature of the gas changed? it has increased two times. it has increased slightly. it has decreased slightly. it has stayed the same.

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas law, product of pressure and volume is equal to the product of n, R, and T.

Mathematically,            PV = nRT

where             P = pressure

                      V = volume

                      n = number of moles

                      R = gas constant

                      T = temperature

It can be seen from ideal gas equation that volume and temperature are proportional to each other. So, when there is small increase in volume then it means there is small increase in temperature also.

Hence, we can conclude that in the given situation has the temperature of the gas changed as it has increased slightly.
