Which one of the following sets of phenomena would increase on raising the temperature?
(a) Diffusion, evaporation, compression of gases
(b) Evaporation, compression of gases, solubility
(c) Evaporation, diffusion, expansion of gases
(d) Evaporation, solubility, diffusion, compression of gases
Answers
C is the correct answer :
On raising the temperature, the kinetic energy of the particles increases. Due to this, the particles overcome their forces of attraction and are able to move freely. Hence, the rate of evaporation, diffusion and expansion of gases increases on raising the temperature.
We would be going through each of the option to determine which option fits answer the best.
Option (A):-
It is wrong because the Compression of Gases doesn't increase with the increase in temperature. It increases only with the decrease in temperature and increase in Pressure.
Option (B):-
It is wrong because the Compression of Gases doesn't increase with the increase in temperature. It increases only with the decrease in temperature and increase in Pressure.
Option (D):-
It is wrong because the Compression of Gases doesn't increase with the increase in temperature. It increases only with the decrease in temperature and increase in Pressure.
Option (C):-
It is correct because all of the 3 given phenomenon increase with the increase in temperature, i.e. Evaporation, Solubility and Expansion of Gases.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option (C) Evaporation, Diffusion, Expansion of Gases !
