All gas particles are in constant random motion and collide with each other and the walls of the container. They have negligible volume compared to the volume of the container and exert pressure on the walls of the container due to their collisions. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
If the container is rigid, then its volume cannot change. However, if more gas particles are pushing on the walls, then it is the pressure that is changing.
No, in a closed container, increasing the temperature of a gas will actually increase the force with which particles hit the walls of the container. This is because higher temperature leads to higher kinetic energy of the gas particles, causing them to move faster and collide with the walls with greater force.
True. When the temperature of a gas increases, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles also increases. This causes the gas particles to move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the container, leading to an increase in the volume of the gas.
No, bacteria are prokaryotes but fungi are eukaryotes. Fungi have a distinct nucleus enclosed within a membrane, while bacteria do not have a nucleus and their genetic material is located in the cytoplasm.
