Kinetic particle model of matter — practice question

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder by a movable piston. The gas is heated, causing it to expand while the pressure remains constant. What happens to the force of each collision between a gas particle and the piston, and how does the collision frequency between the gas particles and the piston change?

  • Aforce increases, frequency decreases
  • Bforce increases, frequency increases
  • Cforce stays the same, frequency decreases
  • Dforce stays the same, frequency increases
