Question
Select all that applyWhich of the following statements correctly describe gas pressure? Select all that apply.Multiple select question.Pressure is caused by gas particles striking the walls of the container.Only gases in containers exert pressure on objects.Shrinking the container surface area will lower the pressure inside.Adding more gas to a container will increase the pressure inside.
Solution
The correct statements that describe gas pressure are:
- Pressure is caused by gas particles striking the walls of the container.
- Adding more gas to a container will increase the pressure inside.
The statement "Only gases in containers exert pressure on objects" is incorrect because gases can exert pressure on objects even if they are not in a container. For example, the atmosphere exerts pressure on everything within it, not just things in containers.
The statement "Shrinking the container surface area will lower the pressure inside" is also incorrect. In fact, reducing the volume of a container (while keeping the amount of gas and temperature constant) will increase the pressure, according to Boyle's law.
