The Ideal Gas Law — Unit test

Question 2 • LA-Chemistry A

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

Answer
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

Explanation

Increasing a gas’s temperature raises the particles’ average kinetic energy, so they move faster. They collide with the container walls more forcefully, which increases the pressure when the container’s volume is fixed. This matches “higher kinetic energy → greater collision force → higher pressure.”
