Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the ideal gas law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its number of particles (measured in moles). From the given images, we can see that all the containers have the same volume and temperature, but different numbers of particles. Gas B has the fewest number of particles (moles) compared to the other gases, so it will exert the lowest pressure. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
