Which of the following statements best explains why the temperature of gas in a cylinder rises when it is compressed by pushing in a piston?

Options

  1. AThe compression increases the kinetic energy of gas molecules.
  2. BThe piston friction generates heat during compression.
  3. CGas pressure causes a chemical reaction that produces heat.
  4. DThe compression reduces the volume, leading to a temperature increase.

Correct answer

D. The compression reduces the volume, leading to a temperature increase.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D)
The compression reduces the volume, leading to a temperature increase.
