Which of the following experiments could you perform to investigate the effect temperature has on the volume of a gas?

A. Measure the pressure the air in a tire exerts on a cold day, a warm day, and a hot day.

B. Measure the volume of a balloon; place the balloon in a freezer for an hour and measure its volume again.

C. Stretch a balloon over the top of a beaker filled with baking soda and vinegar, then observe how the balloon changes volume as the reaction occurs.

D. Inflate one balloon to a large volume and another balloon to a small volume. Measure the temperature of the air released from both balloons.

Answer: A.

Measure the pressure the air in a tire exerts on a cold day, a warm day, and a hot day.

Explanation:

The volume of the gas increases as the temperature increases. As temperature increases, the molecules of the gas have more kinetic energy. If the container can expand, then the volume increases until the pressure returns to its original value.

According to Jacques Charles concerning this relationship between the temperature of a gas and its volume. He discovered that if the pressure of a gas is held constant, as that gas is heated, its volume will increase.
