) Any gas exerts a pressure against its surroundings. For example, if you put more gas in a balloon, it exerts more pressure and expands the balloon. Describe what causes the pressure in a gas, in terms of the fact that molecules of gas are moving.

Explanation:

As we know that molecules of a gas move far away from each other because they are held by weak Vander waal forces. So, when a balloon is filled by a gas then molecules of a gas strike at its walls leading to more number of collisions.

This will also lead to more expansion of the balloon. As we know that pressure is the force exerted n per unit area of a substance or object.

Thus, more is the kinetic energy of the molecules of the gas more will be the force exerted by them. Hence, more will be the pressure exerted.
