Question 5
F

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

Which conclusion is supported by the data in Table 1?

[1]
A

Doubling the temperature in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C doubles the pressure of the gas.

B

The pressure of the gas is directly proportional to temperature in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C.

C

The pressure increases by the same amount for each 25 ∘C25\ ^\circ\text{C}25 ∘C rise.

D

The pressure would fall to zero if the gas were cooled to 0 ∘C0\ ^\circ\text{C}0 ∘C.
