Question
gas a and gas b have the same temperature. look at the number of particles in each gas. which has the higher gas pressure? gas a gas b neither; their gas pressures are the same
Step1: Recall gas - pressure principle
Pressure is due to particle - wall collisions. More particles mean more collisions.
Step2: Compare particle numbers
Gas B has more particles than Gas A.
Step3: Determine pressure
More particles lead to higher pressure for the same temperature and volume. Since temperature is the same and assuming volume is the same (same - sized containers), Gas B has higher pressure.
