As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of molecules increases. What would be the effect of an increase of temperature on pressure provided the volume is constant?
(a) Increases (b) Decreases
(c) Remains same (d) Becomes half
Answer: (a) Increases
As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of molecules increases. From Gay-Lussac's law, at constant volume, as the temperature is increased, pressure increases.
