Question 1088 Deck General
70% to passWith an increase in temperature the volume of flammable and combustible liquids _______________.
A
remains constant if pressure remains constant
B
expands
C
contracts
D
remains constant
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) expands. The volume of flammable and combustible liquids expands with an increase in temperature, as per the basic principles of thermal expansion. When the temperature of a liquid increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, causing them to move further apart and occupy a larger volume. This expansion occurs even if the pressure remains constant. The other options are incorrect because: A) the volume does not remain constant with temperature changes, C) the volume expands, not contracts, and D) the volume does not remain constant with temperature changes.
