4 interconnected gas properties

Pressure, temperature, volume, kinetic energy

Temperature & pressure relationship in a gas

Directly related

Energy transfer when gas temp increases

Heat energy → kinetic energy of particles

Kinetic energy equation

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

Effect of increased kinetic energy on particle speed

Speed increases

Effect of increased temp on particle collisions

More frequent collisions

Pressure-volume relationship (constant temp)

Inversely proportional

Equation for pressure-volume relationship

pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

Unit for pp in pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

Pascals (Pa)

Unit for VV in pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

Cubic metres (m3m^3)

Pressure change when volume doubles (constant temp)

Pressure halves

Definition of work in physics

Energy transferred by a force

Effect of doing work on a gas

Increases internal energy, which increases temperature
