Question
**Hot Expanding Gases and Movable Piston Mechanics**

Hot expanding gases can be used to perform useful work in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston, as illustrated below.

**Diagram Explanation:**

1. **Left Diagram:**
   - A cylinder with a piston at the bottom.
   - Marked with \( V_1 \) indicating the initial volume.
   - \( T_1 \) represents the initial temperature.

2. **Arrow:**
   - Points from the left diagram to the right.
   - Indicates the process of gas expansion.

3. **Right Diagram:**
   - The same cylinder with the piston pushed upwards.
   - Marked with \( V_2 \) indicating the final volume.
   - \( T_2 \) represents the final temperature.

**1st Attempt Question:**

"If the temperature of a gas confined to such a cylinder is raised from 239°C to 695°C, what is the ratio of the initial volume to the final volume if the pressure exerted on the gas remains constant?"

**Interactive Elements:**
- Options to "See Periodic Table" and "See Hint" for assistance in answering the question.
