Given the ideal gas law P V = k T, where k> 0 is a constant. We have the equation for V in terms of P and T. Finding the rate of change of the volume with respect to temperature at constant pressure, the interpretation of the result is: 1 Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume decreases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. . 2. Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure. 3. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. 4. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.

Question

Given the ideal gas law P V = k T, where k> 0 is a constant. We have the equation for V in terms of P and T. Finding the rate of change of the volume with respect to temperature at constant pressure, the interpretation of the result is:

1 Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume decreases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. .

2. Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.

3. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure.

4. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.
