Question

Why does changing the volume of a container change the pressure of the gas in it?

Changing the volume reduces the number of molecules so they hit the walls of the container less often.
O Changing the volume reduces the force with which the molecules hit the walls of the container.
O Changing the volume increases the speed of the molecules so they hit the walls of the container more often.
Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

Answer 2

Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a container is the space within the container. This is the amount of void the gas can occupy.

When the volume of a container is changed, the space either increases or decreases.

• An increase in volume creates more space within the container.
• This spreads out the force over a larger area.

When the volume of the container is reduced,

• the force is confined to much smaller space.

The frequency of collision is higher for tiny spaces.

But lower for a large volume.
