What direction does liquid pressure act?
Equally in all directions
What is Brownian motion?
Random motion of particles due to collision with fast moving air particles
What is Absolute Zero?
Temperature at which particles have no energy
-273 degrees centigrade = 0 K
How do gases exert pressure on a container?
Bounce off walls at high speed
Change in velocity produce a force
Combined effect of forces acting over an area causes pressure
What happens when you increase the temperature of a container?
Particles move faster
Hit wall harder
Pressure increases
Boyle’s Law states that …
Pressure and volume are inversely proportional for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature
Charles’ Law states that…
Volume is directly proportional to absolute (kelvin) temperature for a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure
Gay-Lussac’s Law states that…
Pressure is directly proportional to absolute (kelvin) temperature for a fixed mass of gas at a constant volume
