Question

Two containers, A and B, contain the same number of gas particles. Container A's particles are at a temperature of 40 C and a speed of 3 m/s. Container B's particles are at a temperature of 20 C and a speed of 1 m/s. In which container will there be greater pressure: Container A or Container B? Explain how this can be determined.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

as the temperature and speed is higher pressure will be higher

as the temperature is higher particles will be more active

and as speed is they will collide with more force

so the pressure will be higher in container B
