Question

For many purposes we can treat nitrogen 

N2

 as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of 

−196.°C

.

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

71.0°C

 to 

88.0°C

, and at the same time the pressure is decreased by 

5.0%

.

 

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.
