What happens when the pressure of a gas is lowered?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
What is pressure of gas due to?
collision of air molecules with the walls of the container
Why is the collision frequency in a gas likely to less than in a concentrated liquid?
Molecules or atoms in a gas are farther apart than in a liquid, so the collision frequency is lower.
What does the constant collision of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produce?
Pressure and heat.
Do gas particles bounce?
Atoms and molecules bounce during collisions of any kind when they are in a solid, liquid or gas. The word "bounce" when used to refer to atoms or molecules means that the have a collision that may be considered elastic. This word "bounce" is not especially scientific. Instead one typically hears about colliions and those collisions are termed elastic or inelastic. If two chemical species are involved in a chemical reaction, then when they have a reactive collision, they do not bounce, but they exit the collision changed in some way. They exchange atoms or somehow exit the collision as one or two or more chemical species. Such collisions do not conserve kinetic energy.
How does gas create pressure?
Gas molecules collide with the container walls.
What is the behaviour of gas molecules based on the kinetic theory?
Gas molecules are in continuous random motion and they collide with each other.
What happens when the pressure of a gas is lowered?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
What are gas molecules colliding with no change in total energy?
elastic collision
What is pressure of gas due to?
collision of air molecules with the walls of the container
The pressure of a gas is caused by what?
collision of air molecules with the walls of the con tainer.
What is it about warm gas molecules that give them higher gas pressure than cool gas molecules?
Warmer molecules have more energy, and therefore move faster. Gas molecules will collide with solid objects, these collisions are what cause gas to have a pressure in the first place. Faster molecules mean more energetic collisions, hence a higher pressure on their surroundings. In the case of a sealed vessel, that means that when the temperature rises high enough, the molecules collide with it with enough force to rupture the vessel and burst it open.
Why is the collision frequency in a gas likely to less than in a concentrated liquid?
Molecules or atoms in a gas are farther apart than in a liquid, so the collision frequency is lower.
What does the constant collision of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produce A Temperature Bdensity C Pressure Ddiffusion?
The constant collision of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produces pressure which is directly proportional to the number of collisions.
Why gasses exert pressure?
As the molecules in the gas move, they collide with the container they are within. These collisions is what we call pressure.
What happens when the pressure of the gas is lowered?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
What happens when the pressure of a gas lowering?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
