Description

Gas Behavior

Consider a gas in a closed container. When the temperature is increased, the volume of the gas also increases if the pressure is constant. Conversely, if the volume of the gas is decreased, the pressure increases if the temperature remains constant.

  1. a

    State the relationship between temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure.

    Aim for approximately 1 distinct marking point.
