5054Particle model
In an experiment, the volume of a gas in a cylinder is measured as the pressure of the gas is increased. The values obtained are shown. pressure P / Pa: 1.0 × 10^5, 2.0 × 10^5, 3.0 × 10^5, 4.0 × 10^5 volume V / m^3: 20 × 10^-5, 10 × 10^-5, 6.0 × 10^-5, 4.0 × 10^-5 What is a possible explanation for these results?
- AAfter the pressure is doubled, gas starts leaking into the cylinder.
- BAfter the pressure is doubled, gas starts leaking out of the cylinder.
- CThe temperature of the gas is constant.
- DThe temperature of the gas is increasing.
