(a) Does the average speed of the molecules in this gas increase by a factor that is greater than, less than, or equal to 2? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. Doubling the Kelvin temperature doubles the average kinetic energy, but this implies an increase in the average speed by a factor of , which is less than 2. II. The Kelvin temperature is the one we use in the ideal-gas law, and therefore doubling it also doubles the average speed of the molecules. III.

When water freezes into ice it expands in volume by 9.05%. Suppose a volume of water is in a household water pipe or a cavity in a rock. If the water freezes, what pressure must be exerted on it to keep its volume from expanding? (If the pipe or rock cannot supply this pressure, the pipe will burst and the rock will split.)
