Certain volume of a gas exerts on its walls some pressure at a particular temperature. It has been found that by reducing the volume of the gas to half of its original value the pressure becomes twice that of the initial value at constant temperature. This happens because:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

More number of gas molecules strike the surface per second

Option C (More number of gas molecules strike the surface per second) is correct because decreasing the volume increases the collision frequency with the walls.

If for the gases, the critical temperatures are mentioned below i.e.

\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\underline {{\text{Gas}}} }&{\underline {\,{\text{Critical}}\,\,{\text{temperature}}} } \\ {\text{A}}&{{T_{{C_1}}}} \\ {\text{B}}&{{T_{{C_2}}}} \\ {\text{C}}&{{T_{{C_3}}}} \\ {\text{D}}&{{T_{{C_4}}}} \end{array}

{T_{{C_1}}} > {T_{{C_2}}} > {T_{{C_3}}} > {T_{{C_4}}}
