Answer:

Liquid cannot expand because it can only take up space based on the quantity of the liquid. For example, half a glass of water cannot expand to completely fill the glass because there's only half a glass of water.

I hope this helps! :)

If kinetic energy increases does pressure decrease?
enyata [817]

If molecules are in a closed container then we expect the pressure to increase as the kinetic energy increases. This is because the atoms of an element collide with the walls of the container and increase the pressure.

If we use the formula PV=nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature.  According to the formula, P is directly proportional to temperature. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure.

Since we know that temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules present. It means as we increase the temperature we increase the kinetic energy of the molecules which in turn leads to an increase in the pressure.
