Concept explainers
Interpretation: The impact of temperature on the pressure of a gas needs to be explained taking the help of kinetic theory of gases.
Concept introduction: Gas molecules consists large number of minute particles. Gas molecules are so small that their actual volume is negligible friction of total volume occupied by gas.
Answer to Problem C11.1RE
Pressure of a gas increases on increasing temperature.
Explanation of Solution
Average kinetic energy and rms speed increases in increasing temperature. Gas molecules are constant rapid motion in all possible directions, these molecules hit the walls of the container more repeatedly and with greater force. Due to all these conditions it increases pressure.
Average kinetic energy and rms speed increases in increasing temperature thus pressure also increases.
