4 interconnected variables in a gas

Pressure, temperature, volume, kinetic energy

Temperature & pressure relationship in gas

Directly related

Energy transfer when gas temp. increases

Heat energy to kinetic energy

Kinetic energy equation

K=12mv2K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Effect of increased kinetic energy on speed

Speed increases

Effect of increased speed on collisions

More frequent collisions

Effect of temp. rise on pressure (constant volume)

Pressure increases

Pressure & volume relationship (constant temp.)

Inversely proportional

Equation: pressure × volume

pV=constantpV = constant

Units of pressure in pVpV equation

Pascals (Pa)

Units of volume in pVpV equation

Cubic metres (m3m^3)

If volume doubles (constant temp.), pressure...

Halves

Why does increased volume decrease pressure?

Particles more spread out, fewer collisions

Work definition (energy transfer)

Energy transferred by a force

Effect of doing work on a gas

Increases internal energy and temperature
