Select one:a. When a gas is in a larger volume, the molecules have more space and bump into the walls of the flask more, thereby exerting a greater pressure. b. When a gas is in a smaller volume, the molecules are more confined and bump into the walls of the flask more, thereby exerting a greater pressure. c. The volume of the gas does not account for the changes in the pressure. d. When a gas is in a smaller volume, the molecules have more space in the flask, thereby exerting a smaller pressure.How did your data collected in Experiment 1 with propane gas compare to the data you collected in Experiment 2 using butane?Select one:a.
