20
Q

Where does pressure come from in gases?

A
  • It comes from the collisions between atoms or molecules and their container
21
Q

Where would the line of best fit cross on the x-axis if a graph of pressure against temperature is drawn?

A
  • It would cross at absolute zero (0K or -273°C)
22
Q

What would happen to a gas if it was cooled down and why?

A
  • It would liquefy as its particles lose energy and slow down
23
Q
