Question

the gas in the left box has a higher pressure than the gas in the right box. according to the figure shown, which of the following variables is also greater in the left box?

a number of particles
b space occupied
c volume
d temperature

Explanation:

• Option A:
• The left box has 5 particles and the right box has 4 particles. Since \(5>4\), the number of particles is greater in the left box.
• Option B:
• The two boxes are of the same size, so the space occupied (volume) is the same for both boxes.
• Option C:
• As the boxes are of the same size, the volume is not greater in the left box.
• Option D:
• There is no information in the figure about the temperature of the gases in the two boxes.

Answer:

A. Number of particles
