In kinetic theory, gas pressure arises from what?
AWeight of the gas column
BMolecules hitting the walls
CAttractions between molecules
DEvaporation of the walls
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Molecules hitting the walls
Countless molecular impacts on the walls add up to a steady force per unit area, which we measure as pressure.
