Question
Suppose there is a tiny sticky area on the wall of a container of gas. Molecules hitting this area stick there permanently. Is the pressure greater or less than on the ordinary area of walls?

Solution
- Molecules hitting the tiny sticky area on the wall of the container of gas moves faster as they get closer to the adhesive surface, but this effect is not permanent.
- The pressure on the sticky wall is greater than on the ordinary area of walls.
