Answer

$2 \%$

Work Step by Step

According to Ideal Gas Law: \[ \frac{K T}{V}=P \] The total differential is given by: \[ \begin{aligned} Thus, &-\frac{K T d V}{V^{2}}+\frac{K d T}{V}=d P \\ &\frac{K d T}{P V}-\frac{K T d V}{P V^{2}} \quad \text { divided by } P= \frac{d P}{P}\\ \frac{d P}{P} &=\frac{d T}{P V / K}-\frac{K d V}{V(P V / T)} \quad \because K=P V / T \\ \frac{d P}{P} &=-\frac{d V}{V}+\frac{d T}{T} \end{aligned} \] We are given the percentage increase in $T$ and $V$: \[ \begin{array}{l} 0.05=\frac{d V}{V} \\ 0.03=\frac{d T}{T} \end{array} \] So, we get: \[ \frac{\Delta P}{P} \approx \frac{d P}{P}=\frac{\Delta T}{T}-\frac{\Delta V}{V} \] \[ \frac{\Delta P}{P}=-0.05+0.03=-0.02 \] $2 \%$
