Question

Which statement is true about Air at different temperatures

Answer 1

Are there any choices?

Answer 2

Answer:

Several properties (listed in the explanation)

Explanation:

The volume and density of air change with changes in temperature, T.

There are several things that take place:

As the temperature of air increases:

1. the volume increases - The gas particles have more kinetic energy to move hence the increase in volume. The kinetic energy is directly related to temperature as the energy is derived from the energies of the particles

2. the density decreases- there is less mass of air per unit volume. The air particles are not closely bound together

As the temperature of air decreases:

1. The volume decreases - the air particles lose kinetic energy and are close together.

2. the density increases - there is more weight per unit volume due to lower kinetic energy.
