d)The molecules move slower.
PART B. Answer the following questions on the space provided. (3 marks each).
9.Find the new pressure of a gas originally at 105 kPa and occupying 500 mL, after
it is compressed to
100 mL while the temperature changes from 10 C
to 40 C.
10.
Given: 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)
--> 2 SO3(g)
