Pressure (P1)

Question 1

How does temperature impact pressure?

Answer 1

It increases it because the particles hit the outside of the container more often

Question 2

Boyle’s law

Answer 2

• gases under pressure exert pressure due to collisions between particles and the walls
• compressing a gas increases the pressure because the rate of collisions increases
• for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume pV= constant
