Question
what happens when a higher number of gas particles collide with the walls of the container?
the pressure increases
the volume decreases
the mass increases
Brief Explanations
Gas pressure is defined by the frequency and force of particle collisions with container walls. More collisions (from a higher number of particles, assuming constant volume/temperature) directly increase pressure. Volume depends on container flexibility, not collision frequency alone; mass is fixed as particles are not added/removed.
