Question 10 • EO Chemistry 7320B

Which change would increase the pressure exerted by a gas?

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

Explanation

For a gas in a fixed-volume container, raising its temperature makes the molecules move faster. They collide with the container walls more often and with greater force, increasing pressure. Removing molecules, using a larger container, or reducing the force of collisions would decrease pressure.
