Question 13

What happens to the volume of a gas when the temperature is increased?

a
The volume stays the same
b
The volume is decreased
c
The volume is increased

1 answer

The correct answer is:

c. The volume is increased

According to Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant, increasing the temperature will cause the volume of the gas to increase.
