Students want to investigate the inverse relationship between the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas as predicted by the ideal gas law. Their plan is to use a gas filled cylinder with a movable piston on one end and a heater inside that can be turned on and off. The students will the measure the pressure and temperature of the gas. Which of the following refinements to this procedure will allow the students to observe the predicted relationship between pressure and temperature? Select two answers A. Start with enough gas to have a pressure near atmospheric pressure, and repeat the experiment, removing gas from the cylinder each time.
B. Fix the piston in place so the volume of the pas remains constant.
C. Ensure the piston and cylinder walls are insulated to the gas can reach equilibrium for each set of measurements
D. Conduct the investigation under conditions of very high pressure to ensure ideal gas behavior
