उत्तर
Take a glass fL bottomed flask. Close its mouth with a cork having capillary tube containing an indicator visible in the tube as shown. Make it airtight. Place the flask in hot water. After a few minutes, we see the indicator moving up. This happens because the air inside the flask expands with rise in temperature. This proves that gases expand on heating.
