Question

applying information about gases

the diagrams show the distribution and arrangement of gas particles in two different containers. according to kinetic-molecular theory, which of the statements is true? choose two correct answers.

• if the temperatures of both containers are equal, container a has greater pressure than container b.
• if the volume of container a decreased, its pressure would decrease.
• if the pressure in both containers is equal, container a has a lower temperature than container b.

Explanation:

$$
LATEXBLOCK3
$$

Identify correct statements

Using the Kinetic Molecular Theory knowledge point

$$ \text{Correct statements: Statement 1 and Statement 3} $$

Answer:

• If the temperatures of both containers are equal, container A has greater pressure than container B. (Correct answer)
• If the volume of container A decreased, its pressure would decrease.
• If the pressure in both containers is equal, container A has a lower temperature than container B. (Correct answer)
