ANSWER:Solution 35E
Step 1:
If we warm a volume of air, the temperature of the air, ‘T’ will change. The volume, ‘V’ of the volume will change and the pressure, ‘P’ of the air will change. It can be explained by using the ideal gas law equation,
PV = nRT
Where, P - Pressure of the gas
V - volume of the gas
