Pressure is a function of force and area on which the force is exerted: P

C

What is the effect of a decrease in volume of a sealed container of gas with

no change in temperature?

) A. The change in volume decreases the force of the collisions of the

container and gas particles, so the pressure decreases.

O

B. The change in volume increases the area over which collisions of

the container and gas particles occur, so the pressure decreases.

O

C. The change in volume decreases the area over which collisions of

the container and gas particles occur, so the pressure increases.

D. The change in volume increases the force of the collisions of the

container and gas particles, so the pressure decreases.
