Question

There are 300 light particles in an airtight container. Which adjustment would increase the speed of the particles?(1 point)
Responses

keeping the volume constant and cooling the container
keeping the volume constant and cooling the container

keeping the temperature constant and increasing the container volume
keeping the temperature constant and increasing the container volume

keeping the volume constant and replacing the light particles with heavy particles
keeping the volume constant and replacing the light particles with heavy particles

keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature

Answer 1

To increase the speed of the particles in the container, the most appropriate adjustment would be:

**keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature.**

Increasing the temperature of the particles will increase their kinetic energy, which in turn increases their speed.
