In response to Boyle's law,the pressure of a gas increases as the volume decreases because ________.
A)the gas particles get bigger
B)the kinetic energy of the gas particles increases
C)the temperature of the gas increases
D)the gas particles strike the walls of the container with more force
E)the gas particles strike the walls of the container more often

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional for a given amount of gas at constant temperature. As volume decreases, gas particles have less space to move, leading to more frequent collisions with the container walls, thus increasing pressure.
