Thermodynamics
According to the kinetic theory of gases, what macroscopic property is directly related to the average kinetic energy of gas molecules?
Gas pressure is defined as:
A gas exerts a force of 20 N on a wall with an area of 4 . What is the pressure exerted by the gas on the wall?
Consider a gas in a container. When a gas atom collides with the wall of the container, which principle is most relevant for determining the force exerted on the wall?
What happens to the average kinetic energy of gas molecules when the temperature of the gas is decreased?
If the temperature of a gas is increased from 300 K to 600 K, how does the average speed of the gas molecules change?
A container holds a gas at a certain temperature. If you were to use the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution to analyze the gas, what information would this distribution provide?

How does an increase in temperature typically affect the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
A container of gas has its volume doubled and its temperature halved. If the initial pressure was P, what is the final pressure?
Which of the following is a common mistake when solving problems related to the kinetic theory of gases?
