Question

Which sequence describes the result of increasing the temperature of a gas in a container​

Answer 1

Answer:

D.)more collisions --> greater collision force --> higher pressure

Explanation:

The temperature of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the gas, according to the equation:

$KE=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where

KE is the kinetic energy

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

As a result, when the temperature of a gas increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases too. This means that overall, they will move faster, therefore there will be more collisions between the particles and the walls of the container. As a result, the particles will exert on average a greater force of collision agains the walls, and therefore, they will exert a higher pressure.

So, the correct option is

D.)more collisions --> greater collision force --> higher pressure
