Question
Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the volume of a gas and its temperature, in Kelvin, assuming pressure is held constant?(1 point)
Responses
The relationship is inversely proportional; as temperature increases, volume decreases in the same way.
The relationship is inversely proportional; as temperature increases, volume decreases in the same way.
The relationship is inversely proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.
The relationship is inversely proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.
The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.
The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.
The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume decreases in the same way.
1 answer
The correct statement is:
The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.
This is based on Charles's Law, which states that if the pressure is held constant, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin).
