Question

why does the gas exert pressure

Answer 1

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces.

Answer 2

Hey mate here is your answer:

The pressure exerted by a gas is due to the random motion of particles in the gas. Gases have weak intermolecular forces and the particles in continuous random motion and these particles collide with the walls of the container. These collisions with the walls of the container exerts pressure on the gas.

I hope this would help you mate

Thanks for asking and keep asking more ✌✌
