truth or false Temp of gas is inversely proportional to ts pressure (I answered False) Volume of gas is directly proportional to pressure in torr (I answered True) One way to increase pressure on a gas is to increase gas proportion (I answered False) One way to increase pressure on a gas is to increase its volume ( I answered False) If the pressure is constant the relationship between temperature and volume is direct ( I answered False ) The pressure of a gas is defined as the force X unit area ( I chose False) The pressure of a gas is due to collisions of the gas molecules and the surfaces around them ( I answered True) The pressure of a gas is defined as force x unit area ( I answered False)
