Increase in temperature of a gas filled in a container would lead to:

  1. A
    Increase in its mass
  2. B
    Increase in its kinetic energy
  3. C
    Decrease in its pressure
  4. D
    Decrease in intermolecular distance

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to the Kinetic Theory of Gases, the average kinetic energy () of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature ():

Therefore, increasing the temperature leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules. Mass and intermolecular distance (for a constant volume container) do not change significantly with temperature alone. Pressure would actually increase, not decrease.
