You have a gas in a container fitted with a piston and you change one of the conditions of the gas such that a change takes place, as shown below: State three distinct changes you can make to accomplish this, and explain why each would work.

Three distinct changes that can be made are: 1. Changing the Temperature: Increasing or decreasing the temperature of the gas will affect its pressure and volume, according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT). Hence, higher temperature results in higher pressure and volume, while lower temperature results in lower pressure and volume. 2. Changing the Pressure: Applying or removing external pressure on the piston affects the pressure and volume of the gas inside the container. Additional pressure compresses the gas, while removing pressure allows the gas to expand. 3. Changing the Amount of Gas: Adding or removing gas molecules inside the container will alter the pressure and volume according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT). Adding gas increases pressure and volume, while removing gas reduces pressure and volume.
