Answer:
Yes, it does, although only physically and not chemically.
Explanation:
If a volume of gas is way spread out, it won't collide with the other gas particles as often, reducing pressure and temperature because they lose kinetic energy to their surroundings when they don't collide.
If it is compressed, it increases temperature and pressure because the gas particles collide with each other and the walls of the container way more often than if they had more space.
Hope this answers your question.
P.S.
Fun fact, gas particles are actually moving at 300-400 meters per second at room temperature, they only slow down to walking speed at very low temperatures, like 10 Kelvin
Answer:
Ethane would have a higher boiling point.
Explanation:
In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.
Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.
I hope it helps!
