Question
Using the kinetic theory of gases explain how a raise in temperature of a gas causes a raise in the volume of the gas if the pressure is kept constant.
Answer
(key points)
- Rise in temperature gives gas molecules more kinetic energy
- Collision between molecules increases
- Molecules move further apart in all direction
