Question 1 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

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. Open image in full-screen view 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
temperature and volume
B
volume and number of molecules
C
pressure and number of molecules
D
temperature only

Explanation

Heating the gas raises its temperature, and the piston moving upward means the gas volume increases. This describes Charles’s law: temperature and volume change while pressure and the number of molecules remain constant. The variables are temperature and volume, choice B.
