Question

Why does changing the volume of a container change the pressure of the gas in it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

Explanation:

The volume of a container is the space within the container. This is the amount of void the gas can occupy.

When the volume of a container is changed, the space either increases or decreases.

• An increase in volume creates more space within the container.
• This spreads out the force over a larger area.

When the volume of the container is reduced,

• the force is confined to much smaller space.

The frequency of collision is higher for tiny spaces.

But lower for a large volume.
