A fixed mass of gas is sealed in a metal container of constant volume. Table 1 shows the pressure of the gas at four temperatures.
Table: the pressure of a fixed mass of gas in a sealed container of constant volume, measured at four temperatures
| Temperature in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C | Pressure in kPa |
|---|---|
| 0 | 100 |
| 25 | 109 |
| 50 | 118 |
| 75 | 127 |
Which conclusion is supported by the data in Table 1?
Doubling the temperature in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C doubles the pressure of the gas.
The pressure of the gas is directly proportional to temperature in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C.
The pressure increases by the same amount for each 25 ∘C25\ ^\circ\text{C}25 ∘C rise.
The pressure would fall to zero if the gas were cooled to 0 ∘C0\ ^\circ\text{C}0 ∘C.
