Pretty sure it is c, I know that when pressure increases, then temperature increases on gas. if that's true wouldn't the lower pressure cause a lower kinetic energy that causes the temperature to drop.

Answer from: rhelia

Answer from: granniejo

The correct option is C.

The kinetic energy of a particular gas particles depend on the temperature of that gas. Increasing the temperature of the gas leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles of the gas and this makes them to move about more rapidly, colliding with the one another and with the wall of the container, thereby increasing the pressure also. When the temperature is lower on the other hand, the average kinetic energy of the particles become reduced and they move about at a slower speed; their rate of collision is also reduced, thus pressure too is reduced. Therefore, when temperature reduce, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles also get reduced.
