Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

When gases are heated, their kinetic energy increases, causing the gas molecules to move faster and spread apart, which results in a decrease in density. This decrease in density causes the heated gases to rise within a container, as less dense substances tend to rise above denser substances.
