Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the number of gas molecules on the pressure of the gas at constant volume and temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand that gas is made up of tiny particles called molecules.
  • Step 2: Know that pressure is the force that gas molecules exert on the walls of their container.
  • Step 3: Remember that pressure depends on how many gas molecules are present in a given space (volume).
  • Step 4: Keep the volume of the container the same (constant volume).
  • Step 5: Keep the temperature the same (constant temperature).
  • Step 6: When you increase the number of gas molecules, they collide more often with the walls of the container.
  • Step 7: More collisions with the walls mean higher pressure.
  • Step 8: Therefore, increasing the number of gas molecules increases the pressure.
