How does compressing a gas quickly affect its temperature?

The correct answer is The temperature increases.

Exam lens: Write the relationship, substitute values only when needed, and finish by interpreting the result. This question asks: How does compressing a gas quickly affect its temperature. The correct response is The temperature increases, because gas pressure comes from particle collisions with container walls. In Increasing the pressure of a gas (physics only) (HT only), the marking point should connect directly to (Physics only) (HT only) Explain that doing work on a gas transfers energy to the gas. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Particle model and pressure, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 587 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the exam lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
