QUESTION:
If the number of gas atoms in a container is doubled, the pressure of the gas doubles (assuming constant temperature and volume). Explain this pressure increase in terms of the molecular motion of the gas.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The pressure of a gas is the pressure exerted by the gas on the walls of the container it is in. The molecules in a container collide with each other and with the walls of the container, exerting pressure on the walls.
