Physics - Gas Pressure

?
What causes pressure in a gas?
Particles colliding with walls of container they're kept in
1 of 7
The particles reflect at __ degree angle
90 degree (right angle)
2 of 7
Increasing volume of container would ___ pressure. Why?
decrease. Particles are further apart so travel further before colliding, reducing pressure
3 of 7
Gas pressure is i___ p___ to volume (volume increases, pressure decreases)
Inversely proportional
4 of 7
We can show this with this equation: pV = contant. What does pV mean?
p = pressure. V= volume
5 of 7
Gas has a 3m(cubed) volume and 400,000 Pa (pressure). Volumes increased to 6m(cubed). Calculate presuure
Volume increased by 3. So presuure has decreased by 3. 400,00/3 = 133,333 Pa
6 of 7
Gas has 5m(cubed) volume and pressure 150,000 Pa. Pressure decreased to 50,000. Work out volume
Pressure decreased by 3. Volume increases by e. 5 x 3 = 15m(cubed)
