15. Records show that the incident of tire explosion is high during summer
season. Which of the following gives the best explanation for this observation?
B. There is too much air inside the tires.
D. Vehicles’ tires are not well-maintained.
C. There are more travellers during summer vacation.

16. The temperature of nitrogen gas contained in a not rigid vessel is reduced from
100 ˚C to 5 ˚C. Which of the following describes the resulting behavior of
nitrogen gas molecules?

increases.

17. A balloon with a volume of 200 mL at 30 ˚C is submerged in hot water to
obtain a temperature of 50 ˚C. What will happen to the volume of the balloon,
provided that the pressure remains the same?
A. It will stay the same.
B. It will become lower than 200 mL.
C. It will become higher than 200 mL.
D. There is no enough data given in the problem.

18. Based on the concept of ideal gas law, is it a good idea to leave a bicycle
directly under the heat of the sun on a hot day?
A. No. As the temperature outside decreases, pressure will increase in the
tire causing a blowout.
B. Yes. As the temperature outside increases, pressure will decrease in the
tire causing a blowout.
C. No. As the temperature of the gas increases, pressure will also increase
causing a blowout of the tire.
D. Yes. As the temperature of the gas increases, pressure will also deccrease
causing a blowout of the tire.

21. Deep sea fish usually die when brought out to the surface of the water. What
could you conclude to explain the death of the fish?
A. The body of the fish is unaffected by any changes in its environment thus
it died naturally.
B. The fish’s death is due to a sudden change in temperature of the
surrounding water.
C. The pressure decreases due to a change in depth, so the volume of gases
in the body increases destroying its cells.
D. The temperature of the fish’s body increases as the pressure decreases
causing it to be cooked from the inside out.

22. John used an aerosol spray to repaint his motorcycle cover. He was able to
