Which of the following statements best explains what happens if you increase the temperature of a gas inside a glass container? If the container is rigid the volume of the container does not change (that is, the volume is constant). Since the volume of the gas does not change, Boyle's Law tells us that the pressure of the gas will also not change because the equation P1V1 = P2V2 does not depend on temperature. As you increase the temperature of the gas, the gas particles expand in size. O Since each particle now occupies a larger volume, this means the total gas also occupies a larger volume, which in turn increases the pressure. As the temperature increases you are increasing the kinetic energy of the gas particles. As the gas particles move faster, they are more likely to collide with the walls of the container. This increase in the number of collisions causes an increase in the pressure of the gas. As you increase the temperature of the gas the container itself will expand, causing the volume to increase. The larger volume of the container means the gas particles have more space in which to move, which reduces the number of collisions. Fewer collisions results in a lower pressure of the gas.
