Gases, as opposed to solids, do not have definite volumes. if we decrease the volume of a gas in a closed container, the result is that we increase the gas pressure. the best explanation for this is that decreasing the select one: a. increases the surface area of the container of gas b. increases the force of collisions between gas particles c. decreases the number of collisions between gas particles d. decreases the force of collisions between gas particles

the correct answer is a

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
