Which of the following is the most likely cause for the increase in pressure observed in the container as the reaction reaches equilibrium?
C. An increase in the number of molecules, which increases the frequency of collisions with the walls of the container

The pressure increases due to the frequency of collisions between molecules and the container walls increases.

What is kinetic theory of matter?

  • c) an increase in the number of molecules, which increase the frequency of collisions with the walls of the container.
  • When in a chemical reaction the amount of mole of products is greater than the amount of mole of reagents, an increase in pressure is observed upon reaching equilibrium.
  • Increases in temperature can also produce an increase in pressure although in some cases an increase in temperature may occur under isobar conditions (constant pressure).
  • The kinetic theory of matter states that all matter consists of numerous small particles which are in constant motion, colliding with one another.
  • When the temperature of a gas is increases within a closed container, the average kinetic energy of the gas increases.
  • Thus, when the temperature of a gas is increases within a closed container, pressure increases due to the frequency of collisions between molecules and the container walls increases.
