Which scenarios contradict ideal gas characteristics, representing deviations from kinetic-molecular principles or exceptions to ideal gas behavior? Select 3 options.

A
a gas at very high temperatures, when gas particles are moving very quickly
B
a gas at very low volumes, when gas particles are very close together
C
a gas at very low temperatures, when gas particles have very little kinetic energy
D
a gas at very low pressures, when gas particles are very far apart
E
a gas with highly polar molecules that have very strong intermolecular forces

The diagrams to the right show the distribution and arrangement of gas particles in two different containers. According to kinetic-molecular theory, which of the following statements is true? Check all that apply.

A
If the temperatures of both containers are equal, container A has greater pressure than container B.
B
If the volume of container A decreased, its pressure would decrease.
C
If the pressure in both containers is equal, container A has a lower temperature than container B.

A sample of gas is enclosed in a container of fixed volume. Identify which of the following statements are true. Check all that apply.

A
If the container is heated, the gas particles will lose kinetic energy and temperature will increase.
B
If the container is cooled, the gas particles will lose kinetic energy and temperature will decrease.
C
If the gas particles move more quickly, they will collide more frequently with the walls of the container and pressure will increase.
D
If the gas particles move more quickly, they will lose energy more rapidly and collide with the walls of the container less often, and pressure will decrease.
E
If the gas particles move more quickly, they will collide with the walls of the container more often and with more force, and pressure will increase.

Which of these changes most likely results in an increase in the volume of a gas?

A
decreasing the pressure on the gas
B
cooling the gas
C
removing some of the gas from the sample
