A sealed container of helium gas at 298 K and 150 kPa is heated to 373 K without any change in volume. According to the kinetic theory of gases, which of the following best explains the observed change in pressure?
A sealed rigid container holds a fixed amount of nitrogen gas at 300 K and 100 kPa. The container is heated until the temperature reaches 450 K. Predict the new pressure of the gas. Explain your reasoning using the kinetic theory of gases.
A sealed container holds a fixed amount of helium gas at constant temperature. According to kinetic theory, which statement correctly describes what happens to the gas when the volume is decreased by half?
