Question

As the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas increases, which of the following

occurs? (1 point)
The temperature of the gas increases.
The temperature of the gas decreases.
The number of particles increases.
The number of particles decreases.

Answer 1

Amontons’s law. If the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase. If the volume is held constant, the increased speed of the gas molecules results in more frequent and more forceful collisions with the walls of the container, therefore increasing the pressure
