Answer to Question #60397 in Chemistry for 25

Question

Explain the relevance of molecular collisions to gas pressure, and molecular movement to temperature.

In detail please

Answer 1

Answer:
According to the ideal gas theory, a certain gas volume contains a number of small particles. Being contained in a closed space, they collide with each other.
As the pressure increases, the volume of that free space becomes smaller. That is why the frequency of those collisions also rises.
Rise of a temperature results in a greater kinetic energy of each particle. Therefore, the frequency of their collisions also increases.
