Question 13

A sealed, rigid glass flask contains a sample of air at room temperature. The flask is placed in a hot water bath, causing the temperature of the air inside to rise.

The volume of the glass flask remains constant.

By considering the motion, velocity, and collisions of the gas particles, explain how this temperature increase affects:

  • the average kinetic energy of the gas particles
  • the pressure exerted by the gas on the inside walls of the flask.
