PRESSURE Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
What is gas pressure?
A
The force of gas particles hitting the container they are in. The more particles hitting each second, the higher the pressure
2
Q
What are the three factors affecting gas pressure?
A
Temperature, Size of Container and Amount of Gas
3
Q
How does temperature afect gas pressure?
A
The warmer the gas is, the faster the particles move and more collisions
4
Q
How does the size of a container affect gas pressure?
A
The smaller a container is, the less room there is for particles to move, causing more collisions
5
Q
How does the amount of gas particles affect gas pressure?
A
More gas particles create more collisons
