A gas is filled in a cylinder fitted with a piston at a definite temperature and pressure. Explain on the basis of kinetic theory why on pulling the piston out, the pressure of decreases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When piston is pulled out the volume of the gas increases, Now losses number of molecules colliding against the wall of container per unit area decreases. Hence pressure decreases.
