3.02: gas laws: pressure, temperature, and volume
quiz:
pressure temperature and volume
what happens to the pressure of a gas if the temperature increases?
○ it increases.
○ it stays the same.
○ it decreases.

Explanation:

This is based on Gay-Lussac's Law (or the pressure-temperature law for gases), which states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant volume, pressure and absolute temperature are directly proportional. As temperature increases, gas molecules move faster, colliding with the container walls more forcefully and frequently, increasing pressure.

Answer:

A. It increases.
