A gas is stored in a sealed container of constant volume. The temperature of the gas increases. This causes the pressure of the gas to increase
What happens to the gas molecules during this pressure increase?
A The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
B The average separation of the molecules decreases
The average separation of the molecules increases,
с
D
The volume of each molecule increases.

If the gas volume is decreased, the container wall area decreases and the molecule-wall collision frequency increases, both of which increase the pressure exerted by the gas. Avogadro's law. At constant pressure and temperature, the frequency and force of molecule-wall collisions are constant.

Explanation:

As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy increases as does the velocity of the gas particles hitting the walls of the container. The force exerted by the particles per unit of area on the container is the pressure, so as the temperature increases the pressure must also increase.
