Is pressure caused by the collision of gas molecules with their surroundings?
Lily AdamsYes, pressure of gas is caused by the collisions of gas molecules
Gas molecules are constantly moving randomly inside the container, crashing into other molecules and the container wall on a regular and frequent basis.
The force that the gas molecules exert on the container wall is determined by the rate at which their momentum changes as a result of the collisions, and this force per unit area of gas molecules is known as pressure.
Therefore, the collisions between gas molecules produce gas pressure.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- What is the work done when a sample of gas expands from 12.5L to 17.2L against a pressure of 1.29 atm? Give your answer in Joules.
- The density of core of a planet is #rho_1# and that of outer shell is #rho_2#. The radius of core is R and that of planet is 2R. Gravitational field at outer surface of planet is same as at the surface of core what is the ratio #rho/rho_2#. ?
- A #7 L# container holds #38 # mol and #15 # mol of gasses A and B, respectively. Groups of three of molecules of gas B bind to five molecules of gas A and the reaction changes the temperature from #140^oK# to #210^oK#. How much does the pressure change?
- How does heat affect the movement of molecules?
- A #4 L# container holds #4 # mol and #4 # mol of gasses A and B, respectively. Groups of four of molecules of gas B bind to three molecule of gas A and the reaction changes the temperature from #240^oK# to #320^oK#. By how much does the pressure change?
