Kinetic particle model of matter — practice question

A syringe that holds air is closed at one end, and the piston can move freely. The air is then heated. What happens to the average separation between the air molecules and to the density of the air?

  • Aaverage distance increases; density decreases
  • Baverage distance increases; density stays the same
  • Caverage distance stays the same; density decreases
  • Daverage distance stays the same; density stays the same
