(a) With the aid of a labelled diagram, describe an experiment to illustrate the relationship between the volume and the temperature of a given mass of air at constant pressure.

(b) A uniform capillary tube of negligible expansivity sealed at one end, contains air trapped by a pellet of mercury. The trapped air column is 13.7cm long at 0°C and 18.7cm long at 100°C. Calculate the cubical expansivity of the air at constant pressure.

(c) Using the kinetic theory of gases, explain why the volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure increases with increase in temperature.
