Solution

The correct option is A True
The average speed and kinetic energy of gas molecules increase as the temperature rises. If the volume remains unchanged, the higher speed of the gas molecules causes more frequent and more forceful collisions with the container's walls, resulting in greater pressure.
Therefore, the given statement is true.

Q. When a system absorbs heat,the molecules start moving faster because kinetic energy increases,hence disorder increases. For the same amount of heat absorbed at lower temperature,the disorder is more than at higher temperature.why?explain.

On increasing the temperature of a substance, the kinetic energy of its particles increases.

Assertion: If the activation energy of reaction is low, it proceeds at a faster rate.

Reason: Lowering activation energy increases the kinetic energy of molecules.

Q. As the temperature increases, average kinetic energy of molecules increases. What would be the effect of increase of temperature on pressure provided the volume is constant?
