A 1.21 mol sample of Xe gas is confined in a 28.2-liter container at 11.2 atm. If the volume of the gas sample is decreased to 14.1 L, holding the temperature constant, the pressure will increase. Which of the following kinetic theory ideas apply?
Choose all that apply:
- At lower volumes, molecules have higher average speeds.
- With higher average speeds, the molecules hit the walls of the container with more force.
- For a given gas at constant temperature, only the number of molecule-wall collisions has an effect on pressure.
- With less available volume, the molecules hit the walls of the container more often.
None of the Above
