(N/A) According to the ideal gas equation,$PV = nRT$.
If both pressure $P$ and volume $V$ are kept constant,then the product $PV$ is constant.
Since $n$ (number of moles) and $R$ (universal gas constant) are also constants,the temperature $T$ must remain constant.
Therefore,it is mathematically impossible to increase the temperature $T$ while keeping both $P$ and $V$ constant for a fixed amount of gas.

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Assuming the vessel has thin walls and is pressurized to its bursting point,the amount of gas the vessel can contain,$n$ (in moles),depends only on $V_m$ $(m^3)$,the temperature $T$ $(K)$,the ideal gas constant $R$ $(J/(K \cdot mol))$,and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ $(N/m^2)$. Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?

The temperature of a gas contained in a closed vessel of constant volume increases by $1^{\circ} C$ when the pressure of the gas is increased by $1 \%$. The initial temperature of the gas is
