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 directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.

This describes Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin when pressure is kept constant.
