18 A sealed cylinder containing gas is left in direct sunlight. Eventually the cylinder explodes. How is this explained in terms of the behaviour of the gas particles? A Each particle gets bigger and they collide with each other more often. B Each particle gets bigger and they collide harder with the cylinder. C The particles gain kinetic energy and hit the cylinder harder and more often. D The particles lose kinetic energy and they hit the cylinder harder and more often.
