Answer to Question #119726 in General Chemistry for Sithra

Question

A sealed container contains nitrogen gas. The pressure of the gas is due to the molecules of the gas hitting the walls of the container.
Use the kinetic theory to explain why the pressure inside the container increases when the temperature is increased.

Answer 1

When we increase the temperature then kinetic energy of gaseous molecule is also increases if volume is constant then pressure is directly proportional to kinetic energy so when we increase the temperature then pressure will also increase.
