Question
For many purposes we can treat methane (CH4) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -161. °C.
Suppose the temperature of a sample of methane gas is raised from -69.0 °C to -38.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is increased by 5.0%.
Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same?
If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in
the volume. Round your answer to the nearest percent.

O decrease
O stays the same
