Question

For many purposes we can treat ammonia 

NH3

 as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of 

−33.°C

.

 

Suppose the temperature of a sample of ammonia gas is raised from 

−14.0°C

 to 

−1.0°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.
