What happens to the volume of a gas in a closed container if the temperature increases, but the pressure remains the same? Explain.

• When temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases.

This follows Charles law which states that when pressure of a gas is held constant, volume is directly proportional to the temperature. The explanation is that at high temperature, the molecules hit the walls of the container with more force and if the container can increase in volume, then gas volume will increase as well.

Explanation:

This is in accordance to Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature when pressure is held constant. This means that in a closed container with gas, as temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases as well and when temperature decreases the volume of the gas would decrease.
