Question 24

A gas is contained in a cylinder by a movable piston.

The piston is pushed slowly into the cylinder so that the gas is compressed at a constant temperature.

How is the average force of each individual collision of a gas particle with the piston affected, and how does the frequency of collisions between the gas particles and the piston change?

A

Force of each collision increases; frequency of collisions decreases

B

Force of each collision increases; frequency of collisions increases

C

Force of each collision stays the same; frequency of collisions decreases

D

Force of each collision stays the same; frequency of collisions increases
