Chapter 14.1, Problem 2LC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine the factors which affect the pressure of the gas.

Concept Introduction: The state of matter known as gas is characterized by its widely spaced, swiftly moving, and randomly arranged particle structure.

Answer to Problem 2LC

Gas pressure can be affected by the count of molecules, the volume of the gas, and the temperature of the gas.

Explanation of Solution

There are a few factors that can affect the pressure of the gas:

1. As the count of gas increases, then the pressure of the gas increases rapidly.
2. As the volume of the gas increases, the pressure of the gas decreases rapidly.
3. As the temperature increases, the pressure of the gas will increase rapidly.
