Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the number of gas molecules in a container at constant volume?
  • Step 1: Imagine a container filled with gas molecules. Each molecule is like a tiny ball moving around.
  • Step 2: When you increase the number of gas molecules in the container, you are adding more tiny balls.
  • Step 3: With more balls in the same space (constant volume), they will bump into each other and the walls of the container more often.
  • Step 4: Each time a gas molecule hits the wall of the container, it creates a force on the wall.
  • Step 5: More collisions with the walls mean more force is applied to the walls.
  • Step 6: This increase in force on the walls is what we call an increase in pressure.
