The Effects of Temperature & Pressure

Test yourself

Properties of Gases

All gases tend to have similar properties and behave in similar ways.

Temperature of gases

The higher the temperature of a gas, the higher the kinetic energy of the gas' particles.
- As you heat a gas, you transfer more kinetic energy to the gas' particles.
- This increases the speed of the particles.

Pressure of gases

A gas exerts pressure on the walls of its container.
There are lots of gas particles colliding with the container each second.
When a gas particle collides with the wall of its container, its momentum changes and it bounces back off the wall.
This exerts a force on both the particle and the wall.
The pressure exerted on the wall is equal to the force (of the ball) per unit area (of the wall being hit).
