Question

Distance between hydrogen molecules in gaseous state would increase if
a)The volume of the container is increased
b) Hydrogen leaks out of the container
c)Amount of hydrogen gas in the container is increased
d) Hydrogen gas is compressed

Answer 1

Answer:

a) b)

Explanation:

both can be the answer but i prefer it to be a) as there is a high possibility that there can be an increase in the number of hydrogen molecules as hydrogen is even present in the atmosphere

i prefer a)

Answer 2

Hydrogen molecules will have increased distances between them over two conditions;

(i) The volume of the container is increased. Over increasing the volume of container, the hydrogen molecules will have a larger area to spread around. This will create spans in distances.

(ii) Hydrogen leaks out of the container. Over leakage of hydrogen gas, leaked hydrogen particles will attain unlimited area limits to spread in and this will create large distance spans between them. Moreover, molecules inside the container will too, have larger areas to spread in due to the absence of hydrogen molecules responsible for taking space.
