_________ is the amount of force applied to the inside of a container when particles collide with it.

If the volume of a container increases, and temperature stays the same, what will happen to the pressure of the gas inside of the container?

• Pressure will increase

• Pressure will decrease

• Pressure will stay the same

• Pressure is not effected by volume

The pressure of a gas inside of a container increases. Which of these statements would accurately explain what caused this to happen?

• The volume of the container increased

• The temperature of the gas decreased

• The volume of the container decreased

• The amount of gas inside of the container decreased

Directly proportional means that as one value increases ....................

• the other stays the same 
• the other increases as well
• the other decereases
• the other goes to zero

When a cold tire is inflated to a certain pressure and then is warmed up due to friction with the road, the pressure increases. This happens because the

• air molecules hit the walls of the tire less frequently
• rubber in the tires reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere
• air molecules speed up and collide with the tire walls more often
• air molecules diffuse rapidly through the walls of the tire.

A container of gas has a volume of 20 liters, and is compressed to a volume of 5 liters. What would happen to the pressure of the container?

• The pressure will decrease by 1/2

• The pressure of the container will increase by 4x

• The pressure will remain the same.
• The pressure will increase by 2x

• The pressure will decrease by 1/4

A rigid container of gas is cooled to 1/4 of its starting temperature. The pressure was originally at 10 atm. What would the pressure be at after it was cooled?

• 5 atm
• 1 atm
• 10 atm
• 2.5 atm

As you go up a mountain and climb in elevation, what happens to the atmospheric pressure around you?

• Atmospheric pressure decreases.
• Atmospheric pressure fluctuates randomly.
• Atmospheric pressure remains the same.
• Atmospheric pressure increases.
