Can the volume of a large cylindrical tank containing nitrogen gas be changed?

Explanation:

The question is asking whether the large cylindrical tank with a tight-fitting piston allows the volume to be changed. The answer to the question is True.

A cylindrical tank with a tight-fitting piston can change its volume by moving the piston in or out. This allows for the expansion or compression of the gas inside the tank, which can be influenced by changes in temperature or pressure. By adjusting the volume, the amount of gas contained in the tank can also be changed.

For example, if the temperature of the gas inside the tank increases, the gas particles will gain more kinetic energy and move more vigorously, thereby increasing the pressure inside the tank. To prevent the pressure from exceeding a certain limit, the piston can be moved outward to increase the volume of the tank and reduce the pressure.
