Question

Which one of the following set of phenomena would increase on raising the temperature?

Options

• diffusion, evaporation, compression of gases

• evaporation, compression of gases, solubility

• evaporation, diffusion, expansion of gases

• evaporation, solubility, diffusion, compression of gases

Answer 1

Evaporation, diffusion, expansion of gases

Explanation:

The rates of evaporation, diffusion and expansion of gases increase due to an increase in temperature because when temperature increases, the kinetic energy of molecules increases, which breaks or weakens the interaction between the atoms and sets the molecules free.
