Chemistry of Climate Change - Part 2 — Test

Question 1 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which change would increase the pressure exerted by a gas?

Answer
A
removing gas molecules from the container
B
raising the temperature of the gas
C
transferring the gas to a larger container
D
reducing the force of the molecules hitting the container

Explanation

Raising the gas’s temperature makes its molecules move faster. They collide with the container walls more often and with greater force, increasing pressure. Removing molecules or using a larger container would lower pressure, while reducing the force of collisions would also lower it.
