The Pressure-Volume Relationship Expressed by Boyle's Law Can Be Explained

The pressure-volume relationship expressed by Boyle's law can be explained by the kinetic molecular theory as follows:

A) When a gas is subjected to more pressure, more of the gas dissolves in a liquid.
B) When the volume of a gas is decreased, its molecules become closer together, causing more frequent collisions with the walls of the container.
C) The volume of a gas decreases as the pressure applied to the gas increases.
D) When the volume is decreased, the increased temperature causes the molecules to move faster and to hit the walls of the container more frequently.
E) The pressure of a gas results from its molecules being so close to one another that they cause the container walls to bulge.
