Question 1
Explain what happens to the pressure of a constant volume of air when the temperature of the air increases. Use ideas of momentum of molecules in your explanation.
Explain what happens to the pressure of a constant volume of air when the temperature of the air increases. Use ideas of momentum of molecules in your explanation.
(temperature of air increases) so molecules move faster / their KE increases
molecules collide with walls of container and change momentum
greater change of momentum when temperature is higher OR collisions more frequent OR harder collisions OR force = rate of change of momentum
(higher force and hence) higher pressure
In which range of temperatures is water a liquid?
0 K to 100 K
0 K to 273 K
100 K to 373 K
273 K to 373 K
