Four interconnected properties of a gas

Pressure, temperature, volume, kinetic energy

Relationship between temperature and pressure in a gas

Directly related

Energy transfer when gas temperature increases

Heat energy to kinetic energy of particles

Equation for kinetic energy

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

Effect of increased kinetic energy on particle speed

Speed increases

Effect of increased particle speed on collisions

More frequent collisions with walls and each other

Condition for temp-pressure relationship to hold

Volume must remain constant

Pressure-volume relationship at constant temperature

Inversely proportional

Equation for pressure-volume inverse relationship

pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

Units for pressure (pp) in pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

Pascals (Pa)

Units for volume (VV) in pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

Cubic metres (m3m^3)

Effect on pressure if gas volume doubles (constant temp)

Pressure halves

Effect of doing work on a gas

Increases internal energy

Effect of increased internal energy on gas temperature

Temperature increases
