What does the kinetic molecular theory explain about gas pressure?

• Gas pressure is caused by collisions of particles with the walls of a container.

• Gas pressure is determined by the temperature of the gas only.

• Gas pressure increases with the volume of the container.

• Gas pressure is independent of the number of particles in the gas.

Gas particles move around at __________ speeds.

• low

• moderate

• high

• very low
