The temperature of a gas is raised while its volume remains constant, the pressure exerted by a gas on the walls of the container increases because its molecules(a) Lose more kinetic energy to the wall (b) Are in contact with the wall for a shorter time (c) Strike the wall more often with higher velocities (d) Collide with each other less frequency |

Answer» Correct Option (c) Strike the wall more often with higher velocities Explanation: Due to increase in temperature root mean square velocity of gas molecules increases. So they strike the wall more often with higher velocity. Hence the pressure exerted by a gas on the walls of the container increases |
