Kinetic particle model of matter — practice question

A fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable piston. Which row states and explains what happens to the pressure of the gas in the cylinder as the gas volume increases?

  • Apressure decreases; gas particles collide with the cylinder at a lower speed
  • Bpressure decreases; gas particles collide with the cylinder less frequently
  • Cpressure increases; gas particles collide with the cylinder at a higher speed
  • Dpressure increases; gas particles collide with the cylinder more frequently
