Multiple Choice
In Model 1, the length of the arrows represents the average kinetic energy of the molecules in that sample. Which gas variable (Pinternal, V, T or n) is most closely related to the length of the arrows in Model 1?
P
V
T
n

Pressure is caused by molecules hitting the sides of a container or other objects. The pressure changes when the molecules change how often or how hard they hit. A nonflexible container is needed if the gas sample is going to have an internal pressure that is different from the external pressure. If a flexible container is used, the internal pressure and external pressure will always be the same because they are both pushing on the sides of the container equally. If either the internal or external pressure changes, the flexible container walls will adjust in size until the pressures are equal again.
13
Open Ended
According to what you just read, name the two factors related to molecular movement that influence the pressure of a gas.

Multiple Choice
Predict what would happen to the volume and internal pressure in Experiment A of Model 1 if a flexible container were used.
It would increase
It would decrease
It would stay the same
17
Multiple Choice
Predict what would happen to the volume and internal pressure in Experiment B of Model 1 if a flexible container were used.

Multiple Choice
A high-temperature gas is compared to the same gas at lower temperature. Which of the following statements is true?
