Gas Laws

Question 1

Relationship between pressure and temperature

Answer 1

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Question 2

Explain why pressure in an object decreases when temp of air decreases

Answer 2

-When temperature decreases, the particles have less kinetic energy

-Meaning there are collisions with the object’s walls less frequently, exerting less force.

-The collisions are less hard as less force is exerted.

-Pressure is force over an area, so pressure decreases
