Answer to Question #177861 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for rocio

Question

State how increasing the temperature of a gas changes its volume, assuming pressure is held constant. (Try to state your answer in your own words.....I will award more points according whether you copy and paste an answer, or put it into your own words

Answer 1

According to the Charles's Law, when the pressure of the gas is held constant there is a direct relationship between the temperature and the volume. In other words, if the temperature of the gas increases its volume also increases. Also, if the gas is heated, its particles give an additional energy so they become move faster. As a result, the volume of the gas increases.
