Q

what happens when gas particles move at a high speed

A
  • they bang into each other and exert a force
  • faster particles means more frequent collisions

Q

what factors increase / decrease gas pressure in a container

A
  • increasing temperature will increase the speed, and so the pressure ( if volume is kept constant )
  • if temperature is constant, increasing volume means particles get more spread out and will hit container walls less often, decreasing pressure

Q

equation for change in momentum

A

Q

what happens if you increase the volume of a gas in a container

A

increasing the volume in which a gas is contained, at constant
temperature, can lead to a decrease in pressure.

Q

Describe gas particles in a container

A

Since the particles in a gas are moving fast and randomly, collisions occur frequently. These collisions may be between two particles, between a particle and the wall of the container, or between a particle and something else in the container.

For example, the collisions caused by a gas trapped inside a balloon cause forces to act outwards in all directions, giving the balloon its shape.

Q

why might the pressure of gas molecules increase

A

The pressure from gas molecules may increase if there are more molecules colliding each second or if the molecules are moving faster.

Q

what happens if the volume of gases inside a container stays the same

A

Q

If the temperature of a gas stays the same, the pressure of the gas increases as the volume of its container decreases…why?

A

This is because the same number of particles collides with the walls of the container more frequently as there is less space. However, the particles still collide with the same amount of force.

16
Q

what happens when you do work on a gas

A

Doing work on a gas increases the internal energy of the gas and can cause an increase in the temperature of the gas.

17
Q

work done equation

A

force x distance

17
Q

work done equation

A

force x distance

18
Q

what does mechanical work do

A

transfers energy from the person or machine’s store of chemical energy to the internal energy store of the gas.

19
Q

why does a bicycle pump get warm when its used to inflate a tyre

A

Since the volume of the gas has decreased, the pressure increases because the particles are moving in less space and collide more often. The temperature of the gas is not fixed in most applications and the increased pressure leads to an increase in temperature. This is because the temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles - the increase in the internal energy of the gas means that the temperature must increase.

20
Q

what is the pressure of a gas due to

A

the particle’s colliding with the walls of the container that the gas is held in

21
Q

how to increase gas pressure

A
  • increase the number of collisions per second
  • increase the energy of each collision
  • increase the temperature of the gas
22
Q

what happens to gas pressures at high temperatures

A
  • at high temperatures, particles have higher kinetic energy
  • meaning there are more collisions per second
  • these are higher energy collisions
23
Q

what do particle collisions cause

A

a force which acts at right angles to the walls of the gas container
- this force, acting over the area, causes the gas pressure

24
Q

why does pressure decrease if volume increases and temperature is kept constant

A
  • because we have now increased the spacing between the particles
  • so now the particles can travel much further before colliding with the walls of the container and each other
  • this reduces the number of collisions per second between the walls of the container and particles, reducing the pressure
25
Q

whats the relationship between pressure and volume

A

they are inversely proportional, as one increases, the other decreases
