Question

What happens to the molecules when a gas is compressed?

A. They maintain their temperature.
B. There is a drop in temperature.
C. There is a rise in temperature.


an unopened bag of chips expanding as one drives up a mountain is a good example of how volume

A. decreases when pressure decreases
B. decreases when pressure increases
C. increases when pressure decreases
D. increases when pressure increases

Answer 1

the first answer is c the second answer would be d

Answer 2

B. There is a drop in temperature

C. increases when pressure decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

With constant pressure, the volume is proportional to the temperature. Since the temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. So, the lower the volume (compression), the lower the speed of the molecules (temperature).

On the other hand. With constant temperature, when the pressure increases, the volume drops, while if the pressure decreases the volume increases.
