Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the graph of the relationship between the volume and temperature of an enclosed gas is:

It is a straight line with a positive slope showing that an increase in temperature results in an increase in volume.

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