On reducing the volume of the gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas increases. Explain on kinetic theory.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) On reducing the volume the number of molecules per unit volume increases.
(ii) Hence a large number collide with the walls of the vessel per second and a larger momentum is transferred to the wall per second. This increases the pressure of the gas.
