Question

air temperature is related to air pressure in that...(select all that apply)
a increasing temperature would increase the energy of the molecules, thus increasing the pressure.
b increasing temperature would increase the velocity of the molecules, thus increasing the pressure.
c decreasing the air temperature will increase collisions.
d increasing air temperature will help to increase air pressure.

Explanation:

According to the ideal - gas law and kinetic - molecular theory, higher temperature means more energy and velocity for gas molecules. This leads to more frequent and forceful collisions with the container walls, increasing pressure. Decreasing temperature reduces molecular energy and velocity, resulting in fewer collisions.

Answer:

A. increasing temperature would increase the energy of the molecules, thus increasing the pressure
B. increasing temperature would increase the velocity of the molecules, thus increasing the pressure
D. increasing air temperature will help to increase air pressure
