问题
True or False? When the volume of a gas is decreased at a constant temperature, the frequency of the collisions between particles and container walls remains constant.
查看答案
答案
False. When the volume of a gas is decreased, the frequency of collisions between particles and container walls increases.
闪卡 23
问题
True or False? Increasing the temperature of a gas at fixed volume increases the average speed of particles. This reduces the frequency of collisions with the container walls so pressure increases.
查看答案
答案
False. Increasing the temperature of a gas at a fixed volume increases the frequency of collisions with the container walls because speed increases.

问题
True or False? For a given temperature and volume, a higher pressure gas has particles with more average kinetic energy.
查看答案
答案
False. Temperature is a measure of particle speed, so if the temperature is the same, so is the average kinetic energy of particles.
