A gas is stored in a sealed container of constant volume. The temperature of the gas increases.
This causes the pressure of the gas to increase.
What happens to the gas molecules during this pressure increase?
The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
The average separation of the molecules decreases.
The average separation of the molecules increases.
The volume of each molecule increases.

A liquid is evaporating. The liquid is not boiling.
Which statement about the liquid is correct?
Any molecule can escape, and from any part of the liquid.
Any molecule can escape, but only from the liquid surface.
Only molecules with enough energy can escape, and only from the liquid surface.
Only molecules with enough energy can escape, but from any part of the liquid.

Air in a sealed syringe is slowly compressed by moving the piston. The temperature of the air
stays the same.
Which statement about the air is correct?
The pressure of the air decreases because its molecules now travel more slowly.
The pressure of the air decreases because the area of the syringe walls is now smaller.
The pressure of the air increases because its molecules now hit the syringe walls morefrequently.
The pressure of the air increases because its molecules now travel more quickly.

Evaporation occurs when molecules escape from a liquid surface into the air above it. During this
process the temperature of the liquid falls.
Why does the temperature of the liquid fall?
The molecules in the vapour expand because the pressure is less.
The molecules left in the liquid have more space to move around.
The molecules move more slowly when they escape into the air.
The molecules with the highest energies escape into the air.

closer together than at time X.
hitting the sides of the tank harder than at time X.
larger in size than at time X.
moving more slowly than at time X.
