For this question, use the main assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases:

1. Gases are made up of molecules which are relatively far apart.
2. The molecules are in motion at high speeds.
3. The molecular collisions are perfectly elastic.
4. Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Which of the assumptions explains the pressure which a gas exerts?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 1 and 2
F. 2 and 4

Answer: 2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure of a gas is defined as the force which the gas exerts per unit area of the walls of the vessel containing with which it collides consistently. The molecules of the gas are believed to move at high speed and collide with each other elastically.
