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
Answer:C
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
Explanation: Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy possessed by the particles of matter. All three phenomenon evaporation, diffusion and expansion of gases involve movement of particles away from each other. Therefore, the rate of evaporation, diffusion and expansion of gases increases on raising the temperature.
