Chapter 27.1, Problem 1cTH

Consider the following incorrect student statement.

“In the Ideal gas law, P = n R T / V , so the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. If you decrease the volume, the pressure has to go up.”

What is the flaw in the student’s reasoning?

Hi, could I get some help with this macro-connection physics problem involving moles and the Ideal Gas Law? The set up is: How many moles are there in a cubic meter of an ideal gas at 100 degree celsius (C) to 4 digits of precision with a pressure of 0.25 atm, assuming 1 atm = 101325 N/m2 with kB = 1.38e-23 J/K and NA = 6.022e23? Thank you.
Using MATLAB editor, make a script m-file which includes a header block and comments: Utilizing the ideal gas law: Vmol= RT/P Calculate the molecular volume where: R = 0.08206 L-atm/(mol-K) P = 1.015 atm. and T = 270 - 315 K in 5 degree increments Make a display matrix which has the values of T in the first column and Vmol in the second column Save the script and publish function to create a pdf file from the script in a file named "ECE105_Wk2_L1_Prep_1"
A (1.1x10^1) liter bottle is filled with nitrogen (N2) at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure is 1 atm and 273 K) and closed tight. If the temperature is raised to 100° C, what will be the new pressure in SI units to two significant figures. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
