Cause of gas pressure

Collisions of gas particles with container walls

Direction of force from gas particle collisions

At right angles (perpendicular) to container walls

Effect of more particles (same volume) on pressure

Higher pressure due to more collisions

Effect of decreasing volume on collision frequency

More frequent collisions

Type of relationship between volume and pressure

Inverse relationship

Pressure change when volume increases

Pressure decreases

Pressure change when volume decreases

Pressure increases

Boyle's Law equation (basic form)

P×V=constantP \times V = constant

Boyle's Law equation (comparing two states)

P1V1=P2V2P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Conditions for Boyle's Law to apply

Fixed mass of gas at constant temperature

What flexible containers do instead of raising pressure

Change volume (expand)

What causes flexible containers to expand

More or stronger collisions between gas particles
