Gas Laws

Question 1

what does the volume depend on

Answer 1

• the volume of the containers

- the volume of individual gas particles is negligible

Question 2

what does the temperature depend on

Answer 2

• on the kinetic energy of the gas-particle

- greater the speed means greater kinetic speed which means higher temperature

Question 3

what does the pressure depend on

Answer 3

• gas particles colling with the walls of the containers

- more violent collisions results in a greater average force and therefore greater pressure
