Molecular Motion in Gases

1 pts

volume_mute

How do molecules in a gas move compared to molecules in a solid or liquid state under standard conditions?

They move at very high speeds in straight lines until they collide with other molecules or the container walls.

They remain locked in fixed positions, vibrating around a central point.

They flow tightly packed together, maintaining constant contact while sliding past one another.

They remain completely motionless unless an external electrical charge is applied.

The Cause of Gas Pressure

From a microscopic perspective, what directly produces the macroscopically measurable pressure exerted by an enclosed gas against the walls of its container?

The collective impact forces of billions of gas molecules striking the container walls.

The gravitational pulling force between individual gas molecules.

The chemical breakdown of gas molecules when they touch the container's surface material.

The static electric attraction between the gas particles and the outside atmosphere.

Effect of Decreasing Volume on Pressure

1 pts

volume_mute

If a fixed mass of gas is confined inside a cylinder and the piston is pushed down to decrease the volume to exactly half its original space at a constant temperature, how does the molecular collision rate and pressure change?

The molecules are crowded into half the space, doubling the collision frequency against the walls and doubling the pressure.

The molecules slow down due to the restriction, causing the pressure to drop to half its original value.

The molecules fuse together, leaving the total number of wall impacts and pressure unchanged.

The collision frequency doubles, but the pressure drops because the molecules lose kinetic energy.
