Q1
In the kinetic theory of gases, the pressure exerted by a gas is due to:
  1. Gravitational force
  2. Molecular collisions with the walls
  3. Temperature of the gas
  4. Volume of the gas

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the kinetic theory of gases, the pressure exerted by a gas is due to:
  • Step 1: Understand that gases are made up of tiny particles called molecules.
  • Step 2: Know that these gas molecules are constantly moving in all directions.
  • Step 3: Realize that when these moving molecules hit the walls of their container, they exert a force on the walls.
  • Step 4: Understand that this force from the collisions of the molecules with the walls creates pressure.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the more frequent and forceful the collisions, the higher the pressure exerted by the gas.
