What is the effect of the following changes on the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas? (Note: You should NOT need to do any explicit numerical calculations. Use your qualitative understanding of how volume depends on different experimental variables.)
1. The pressure is changed from 0.5 atm to 760 mm Hg (at constant temperature).
2. Another 3 mol of gas (to the existing one mol) is introduced through a stopcock (at constant temperature and pressure).
3. The pressure is halved and the temperature is changed from 0 °C to 546 K.
4. Another 1 mol of gas is introduced and the pressure is changed from 380 torr to 1 atm (at constant temperature).
5. The temperature is changed from -173 °C to 200 K (at constant pressure).
The answers are: the volumn quadrupled/doubled/halved/stays the same
