Understanding gas pressure in containers

Particle model of matter • Particle model and gas pressure

Key concepts

What you'll likely be quizzed about

  • Gas pressure arises from the collisions of gas particles with the walls of a container.
  • The accumulation of these collisions produces a measurable force per unit area, known as pressure.
  • It is typically measured in pascals (Pa).

How does temperature influence gas pressure?

Click to reveal answer

Increasing temperature raises gas particle energy and speed, leading to more forceful collisions, thereby increasing pressure.

Key notes

Important points to keep in mind

Gas pressure is measured in pascals (Pa).

Boyle's Law relates pressure and volume inversely.

Temperature increases lead to higher gas pressures.
