Question

what a gas lab exit ticket
possible points: 0.67
demo #4: when the erlenmeyer flask with the balloon was on the hot plate, the gas particles had
☑ kinetic energy causing the balloon to
□ more
□ less
□ the same
☑ in volume.

Explanation:

When a gas is heated (on a hot plate), the gas particles absorb thermal energy, which increases their kinetic energy. Higher kinetic energy makes the particles move faster and spread out, causing the gas (and the balloon containing it) to expand, increasing its volume.

Answer:

1. more
2. increase
