Question 7 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

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

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

Explanation

Increasing a gas’s temperature increases the average kinetic energy of its particles. They move faster and collide with the container walls with greater force, increasing the pressure. Therefore, the sequence is higher kinetic energy → greater collision force → higher pressure.
