alleryAccording to kinetic theory, decreasing gas volume raises pressure because:
AMore collisions occur
BMolecules expand size
CMolecules lose energy
DGravity pulls harder
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. More collisions occur
Reducing container volume increases the frequency of molecular collisions against container walls, increasing pressure.
