According to the kinetic theory of gases, the pressure exerted by a gas is due to
A.
The vibrations of gas particles.
B.
The weight of the gas particles
C.
The attractive forces between gas particles
D.
The collisions of gas particles with the container walls
Correct answer is D
In the kinetic theory of gases, the pressure exerted by a gas is a result of the frequent and random collisions of gas particles with the walls of the container. The force of these collisions creates pressure on the container walls.
