A quantity of gas is trapped in a rigid, sealed container. The temperature of the trapped gas is decreased.
Which row shows the changes that occur to the trapped gas?
Pressure of the gas: decreases; Average kinetic energy of the molecules: decreases
Pressure of the gas: decreases; Average kinetic energy of the molecules: increases
Pressure of the gas: increases; Average kinetic energy of the molecules: decreases
Pressure of the gas: increases; Average kinetic energy of the molecules: increases
