Question 6 • Chemistry

The gas in the piston is being heated, and the piston has moved upward. The observation will be summarized in a row of the incomplete table below. Expand Image Row Name Observation Variables 1 Boyle's law Volume increases when pressure decreases ? 2 Charles’s law ? ? 3 Gay-Lussac’s law ? Temperature, pressure 4 Combined gas law ? ? What are the variables for this piston?

Answer
A
volume and number of molecules
B
temperature only
C
temperature and volume
D
pressure and number of molecules

Explanation

Heating the gas raises its temperature, and the piston moving upward shows that its volume increases. For a movable piston, this is the relationship described by Charles’s law: temperature and volume change together when pressure and the amount of gas stay constant. The correct choice is temperature and volume.
