Thermodynamics
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?
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?
