What are three ways that gas pressure can be increased? Choose the 3 correct statements. Use the image below to help you.
a
Decreasing the temperature of the gas will increase the pressure if volume and amount of the gas is constant.
b
Decreasing the volume of the container will increase the pressure if the temperature and amount of the gas is constant.
c
Decreasing the number of gas particles will increase the pressure if the temperature and volume are constant.
d
Increasing the temperature of the gas will increase the pressure if volume and amount of the gas is constant.
e
Increasing the volume of the container will increase the pressure if the temperature and amount of the gas is constant.
f
Increasing the number of gas particles will increase the pressure if the temperature and volume are constant.
b
Decreasing the volume of the container will increase the pressure if the temperature and amount of the gas is constant.
d
Increasing the temperature of the gas will increase the pressure if volume and amount of the gas is constant.
f
Increasing the number of gas particles will increase the pressure if the temperature and volume are constant.
The correct statements are:
b. Decreasing the volume of the container will increase the pressure if the temperature and amount of the gas is constant.
d. Increasing the temperature of the gas will increase the pressure if volume and amount of the gas is constant.
f. Increasing the number of gas particles will increase the pressure if the temperature and volume are constant.
These statements are based on the image provided.
The three correct statements are:
b. Decreasing the volume of the container will increase the pressure if the temperature and amount of the gas is constant. This is known as Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature and amount of gas. When the volume is decreased, the gas particles are more confined and collide more frequently with the walls of the container, resulting in an increase in pressure.
d. Increasing the temperature of the gas will increase the pressure if volume and amount of the gas is constant. This is known as Gay-Lussac's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and amount of gas. When the temperature increases, the gas particles gain more kinetic energy and move faster, leading to more frequent and forceful collisions with the walls of the container, resulting in an increase in pressure.
e. Increasing the volume of the container will increase the pressure if the temperature and amount of the gas is constant. This is the opposite of statement b. When the volume of the container is increased, the gas particles have more space to move around and collide with the walls of the container less frequently, resulting in a decrease in pressure.
To determine the correct statements, you can use the image or apply the gas laws. Boyle's Law relates pressure and volume, Gay-Lussac's Law relates pressure and temperature, and the third statement relates pressure and number of gas particles. By analyzing the options with these laws in mind, you can identify the three correct statements.
