10Gas Laws Kinetic TheoryMedium1 mark
A gas is trapped inside a cylinder which is sealed by a freely moving piston.
The piston is slowly pushed in so that the volume of the gas is reduced, but the temperature does not change.
| kinetic energy of particles | rate at which they collide with the piston | |
|---|---|---|
| A | no change | no change |
| B | no change | increases |
| C | increases | no change |
| D | increases | increases |
What happens to the kinetic energy of the gas particles and the rate at which they collide with the piston?
