Which of the following is true about the kinetic molecular theory?
A)The volume of a gas particle is considered to be small - about 0.10 mL.
B)Pressure is due to the collisions of the gas particles with the walls of the container.
C)Gas particles repel each other,but do not attract one another.
D)Adding an ideal gas to a closed container will cause an increase in temperature.
E)At least two of the above statements are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the kinetic molecular theory, gas pressure is the result of the collisions of gas particles with the walls of the container.

Note: The other statements are incorrect. The volume of a gas particle is extremely small and is measured in nanometers. Gas particles can attract and repel each other depending on their intermolecular forces. Adding an ideal gas to a closed container does not necessarily cause an increase in temperature; it depends on the conditions of the system.
