What is the impact of molecular interactions on gas molecules at high pressures?
Options
- AMolecular interactions cause gas molecules to repel each other.
- BMolecular interactions lead to higher gas pressure.
- CGas molecules collide with walls of the container with greater impact.
- DMolecular interactions cause gas molecules to be attracted to each other, reducing the impact on the container
Correct answer
D. Molecular interactions cause gas molecules to be attracted to each other, reducing the impact on the container
Step-by-step solution
At high pressures, molecular interactions result in gas molecules being attracted to each other, which, in turn, reduces the impact of the molecules on the walls of the container.
