Question

a gas is placed inside a very cold box . The gas molecules transfer heat to the walls of the box. Which best describes what happens to the gas as it cools down?

Answer 1

As the gas cools down, particle movement slows down with it, and so does the temperature of the gas. This is because the more heat or thermal energy a gas has, the faster the particles move. This is why absolute zero, or 0 degrees Kelvin is defined as zero particle movement, because it has zero energy.
Hope this helps
