Which of the following explains the change in pressure when volume increases?

• As the volume increases, the particles slow down, causing less collisions and less pressure.
• As the volume increases, the particles speed up, causing more collisions and more pressure.
• As the volume increases, the particles have more space to move and collide less with the walls , causing pressure to decrease.
• As the volume increases, the particles have more space to move and collide less with the walls , causing pressure to increase.

Which of the following describes why the pressure of a gas in a metal tank increases when temperature increases?

• As temperature increases, the particles have more space to move and collide less often with the container.

• As temperature increases, the particles have less space to move and collide more often with the container.

• As temperature increases, the particles slow down and collide less often with the container.

• As temperature increases, the particles speed up and collide more often with the container.
