Question

It is a hot summer day, you are getting out of the car as you finish the cold water that is in your hard plastic water bottle. You reseal the lid and leave it on the seat of the car, closing and locking the door. The empty water bottle is resting on the seat directly in the hot sun. It is several hours before you return to the car. Will any of the following change in this scenario? Justify your prediction. a)(2 point) Volume of the water bottle? Explain. b)(2 point) Temperature of the water bottle? Explain. c)(2 point) Pressure inside the water bottle? Explain. *

Answer 1

Everything will get changed, as physical conditions has been changed here.

a) Volume. - It states that, volume is directly proportional to the temperature. So, Equation of Charles law, V1T1 = Constant, 
As temperature increases, Volume will get decreased.

b) As heat is applying on the bottle, it's temperature will be increased.

c) Pressure is directly proportional to temperature so, on increasing temperature it will be increased.

Hope this helps!
