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 gives the statement and explanation for what happens to the pressure of the gas in the cylinder when the volume of the gas increases?

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