4 interconnected properties of a gas

Pressure, temperature, volume, kinetic energy

Relationship between temp & pressure in a gas

Directly related

Energy transfer when gas temp increases

Heat energy transfers to kinetic energy of particles

Equation relating kinetic energy to speed

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

Effect of increased KE on particle speed

Speed increases

Effect of temp increase on avg particle speed

Average speed rises

Effect of increased particle speed on collisions

More frequent collisions with walls & each other

Why temp increase causes pressure increase

Higher KE → higher speed → more collisions → higher pressure

Condition for temp-pressure relationship to hold

Volume must remain constant

Pressure-volume relationship (constant temp)

Inversely proportional

Equation for pressure-volume relationship

pV=constantpV = \text{constant}

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

Pascals (Pa)

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

Cubic metres (m3m^3)

Definition of work

Energy transferred by a force

Effect of doing work on a gas

Increases internal energy, then increases temperature
