Doing work on a gas increases its...

Temperature

Formula: Work done on a gas

Pressure×Volume\text{Pressure} \times \text{Volume}

Doing work on a gas means changing the...

Volume (compressing or expanding)

Effect on pressure: More particles in fixed volume

Pressure increases

Why more particles increase pressure

More collisions per unit time with walls

Energy effect: Adding more gas to fixed volume

Heats the gas

Particles hit inward moving wall, they...

Gain momentum

Why particles gain momentum during compression

Rebound velocity > approaching velocity

Effect on pressure: Volume decreases

Increases (more frequent collisions)

Effect on temperature: Volume decreases

Increases (kinetic energy increases)

Time between collisions when volume decreases

Decreases
