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

A
Changing the volume reduces the number of molecules so they hit the walls of the container less often.
B
Changing the volume reduces the force with which the molecules hit the walls of the container.
C
Changing the volume increases the speed of the molecules so they hit the walls of the container more often.
D
Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

A gas has a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. What can be concluded about the gas?

A
It has reached standard temperature and pressure.
B
The pressure needs to be increased to reach the standard pressure.
C
The temperature needs to be increased to reach the standard temperature.
D
Both the temperature and pressure need to be lowered to reach STP.
6

Which is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?

A
Gas particles have a small volume relative to the spaces between them.
B
Gas particles have a large volume relative to the spaces between them.
C
Gas particles are very small in size and always move slowly.
D
Gas particles are very large in size and always move slowly.

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

A
higher kinetic energy ® greater collision force ® higher pressure
B
lower kinetic energy ® greater collision force ® higher pressure
C
higher kinetic energy ® lower collision force ® lower pressure
D
lower kinetic energy ® lower collision force ® lower pressure

The diagrams show gases that are stored in two separate but similar containers.If both gases are at the same temperature, which one has the greater pressure?

Question illustration
A
gas 1 because the particles are moving much faster
B
gas 1 because it has fewer particles that are close together
C
gas 2 because it has more particles that are colliding
D
gas 2 because the particles have more space between them

Which statement describes a limitation of the kinetic-molecular theory for a gas?

A
The theory assumes that particles do not experience intermolecular forces.
B
The theory states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
C
The theory assumes that particles are in random and continuous motion.
D
The theory states that pressure increases with temperature.
