The reason gases can be compressed is because:
The particles are very close together.
The particles are merely vibrating.
The particles are unable to move.
The particles are very far apart.
- 13. Multiple Choice
Gas pressure is caused by
Gas molecules heating up
Gas molecules reacting with other gas molecules
Gas molecules hitting the walls of a container
Gas molecules hitting other gas molecules
- 14. Multiple Choice
why does increased temperature cause an increase in pressure
kinetic energy increases which causes more collisions
kinetic energy decreases which causes less collisions
there are no collisions
that's not what happens
