Use the ideas of the Kinetic Theory to explain the following. A sealed container contains nitrogen gas. The pressure of a gas is due to the molecules of the gas hitting the walls of the container. Explain why the pressure inside the container increases when the temperature is increased.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

When the temperature increases, the molecules of the gas gain energy. Therefore, they move faster.

This causes the molecules to hit the walls of the container more frequently and with greater force. Hence the pressure inside the container increases.
