Question 12
F

A sealed aerosol can is left in hot sunlight.

Which statement explains why the pressure of the gas inside the can increases?

[1]
A

The particles move faster, so they hit the walls more often and with more force

B

The particles move faster, so they take up more room and push the can outwards

C

The particles gain mass when they are heated, so each collision is harder

D

More particles are made as the gas is heated, so there are more collisions
