Question

****MEDAL AND FAN!!***
What does pressure measure?

The number of molecules present?
The temp of a substance
the volume occupied by particles
force of colliding particles

@studygurl14 @perl

Answer 1

Pressure is defined as force per unit area

Answer 2

So molecules present? @perl

Answer 3

thats the physics definition. but i think you are doing gas laws (chemistry)

Answer 4

yep

Answer 5

For an ideal gas, the pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present.

Answer 6

The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) says that the pressure is due to collisions with the walls of the container and depends on how many gas particles there are and how violent the collisions are. Since the energy depends only on the temperature, which doesn't change, the collisions won't be harder but adding gas will increase the number of collisions, thus increasing the pressure.

Answer 7

soo..? :p

Answer 8

so number of molecules present? @perl

Answer 9

the question is worded strangely, is there any other information

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

Should I just go for number of molecules present? @perl
