Gas Pressure Flashcards
1
Q
what happens if more particles hit a wall?
A
pressure is higher
2
Q
what is the formula for pressure?
A
pressure = force / area
3
Q
why does heating increase pressure?
A
causes the particles to have more kinetic energy, so they move faster, hitting the walls harder and more often
4
Q
what happens to the pressure when the temperature is cooler?
A
there is less energy, so less pressure
