Select all that applyWhich of the following statements correctly describe gas pressure? Select all that apply.Multiple select question.Pressure is caused by gas particles striking the walls of the container.Only gases in containers exert pressure on objects.Shrinking the container surface area will lower the pressure inside.Adding more gas to a container will increase the pressure inside.

Which statements about gases are true?They don't change in volumeThey are fluids that change shape depending on their containerThey tend to fill the entire space of their containerThey change volume depending on their containerI'm not sure

A given amount of gas is held inside a container.  The volume of the container can be changed using a movable piston.  Which of the following will cause the pressure which the gas exerts on the walls of the container to decrease?Pushing the piston inwards (so that the volume of the container decreases)Heating the gasPulling the piston outwards (so that the volume of the container increases)Pumping more gas into (increasing the number of particles inside) the container
