    Molecular Model of an Ideal Gas Question

    here's an alternate answer: Given that P = F/A, when the volume expands, the pressure decreases. This means that the molecules hit the walls with less, and so the force exerted back to them is lower, thus their velocity is also lower. Since temp = ke = velocity of molecules, the temperature...
