As a scuba diving air tank is filled with air, the air is compressed in the tank to as much as 3000 psi of pressure. When filling the tank, it is observed that the tank becomes warmer.

Which argument BEST explains why this occurs?

A
When air is compressed, it turns solid. A short time later, the air evaporates back into a gas which releases heat.
B
When air is compressed, the molecules line up into a crystalline structure. As the molecules line up, they release energy in the form of heat.
C
When air is put into the tank, it expands rapidly, thereby raising the temperature.
D
Air molecules are free to move and as more air is added to the tank, the molecules move and collide faster which raises the temperature.

Liquid ammonia is produced at high temperatures and under great pressure in a tank by passing a mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas over an iron catalyst. the reaction is represented by the following equation. n2(g) + 3h2(g) → 2nh3(g) changing all but one experimental condition will affect the amount of ammonia produced. that condition is a) increasing the concentration of both reactants b) changing the temperature within the tank c) decreasing the pressure within the tank. d) increasing only the amount of nitrogen present.
