Question

According to one theory, the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases, because the molecules in the gas have to move a shorter distance to hit the walls of the container. Does this theory follow a macroscopic or microscopic description of chemical behavior? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: The theory describes a microscopic behavior of the molecules.

Explanation: despite the theory describe macroscopic properties of gases like pressure or volumen, it is based on the movement of molecules under certain conditions which is a microscopic level of chemical behavior
