Understanding temperature and pressure at constant volume
Particle model of matter • Particle model and gas pressure
Key concepts
What you'll likely be quizzed about
- In a closed system at constant volume, an increase in temperature directly causes an increase in pressure.
- This is because raising the temperature increases the kinetic energy of gas particles, leading to more frequent and forceful collisions with the walls of the container.
- Therefore, the pressure rises as the temperature rises.
