Answer 1

Heated gases will increase in kinetic energy and decrease in density.

When gases are heated, their molecules gain kinetic energy, which causes them to move more rapidly and spread apart. This increase in molecular motion results in a decrease in the density of the gas, causing it to rise within a container because it becomes less dense than the cooler, surrounding air or gas.
