A sample of ethene gas in a syringe is heated from 20 degree to 100 degree celcius. The pressure remains constant. Describe and
explain, in terms of the kinetic particle theory, what happens to the volume of the gas.
1 answer:
Answer:
If the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase.
According to Charles law, f the temperature of a gas is increased, a constant pressure may be maintained only if the volume occupied by the gas increases. Thus, the volune increases with an increase in temperature.
This will result in greater average distances traveled by the molecules to reach the container walls, as well as increased wall surface area.
