Thermal expansion of a gas causes a change in the ____ of the gas.

A. Radioactiveness
B. Density
C. Mass
D. Altitude

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Density

Explanation:

Thermal expansion of a gas will cause a definite change in the density of the gas.

It is product of an increase in the average kinetic energy of the system in which molecules are found.

  • Gaseous thermal expansion will increase the volume in which gases occupy.
  • Mass of the gas will still remain the same.
  • Since density is the mass per unit volume, as the gases expand, their density reduces more and more.

Therefore, thermal expansion of gas will cause a change in the density of the gas.
