Chapter 10, Problem 1PE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason that addition of more gas tends to increase the pressure, is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Gas is the state of matter that neither has a definite shape nor has a definite volume. It has a tendency to expand to a great extent. The gas either consists of the same atoms like hydrogen or helium, or it consists of different elements such as carbon dioxide, methane etc.

Answer to Problem 1PE

Solution:

Due to addition of more gas, the collision of the molecules increases against the wall of the container, or leads to increase the pressure within the system or the container.

Explanation of Solution

Gaseous molecules have a very weak force of attraction within them; therefore they are free to move in a container or a system. Since these molecules travel in a random motion, they continuously collide with one another within the walls of the container. This acceleration of molecules creates a force within the wall of the container that ultimately leads to an increase in the pressure.

The addition of gas results in more number of gaseous molecules that leads to an increase in collision within the molecules. Subsequently, the pressure of gas within a container also increases.

Conclusion

The pressure of gas increases because the addition of gas leads to an increase in the collision within a container.
