Question

Two glass bulbs each having a volume of exactly 1L are connected by a valve. The left bulb contains a sample of nitrogen gas at a pressure of 101.325 kPa (kiloPascal), the right bulb has been emptied of gas and the pressure in the right bulb is 0 kPa.
 
Which statement provides the BEST explanation for what happens when the valve between the bulbs is opened?
A    The gas will expand into the empty bulb. Expansion of the gas will increase the gas pressure and increase the gas temperature.    
B    The gas will expand into the empty bulb. Expansion of the gas will increase the gas pressure and decrease the gas temperature.    
C    The volume available for the gas will double. Doubling the volume will increases the amount of gas to keep the pressure constant.    
D    The volume available for the gas will double. Doubling the volume will cause the pressure and temperature to decrease.
