PRESSURE, VOLUME, TEMPERATURE

UNDERSTANDING MATTER & ENERGY FLUIDS

MRSTAV

• increasing the temperature causes the particles of the gas to move faster�
• the faster moving particles hit the sides of the container with more force, resulting in more pressure

🡹 Temperature = 🡹 Pressure

MRSTAV

• decreasing the volume of the container reduces the amount of space that the particles have to move�
• the particles are squished into a smaller space and therefore have more pressure

🡻 Volume = 🡹 Pressure

MRSTAV

• increasing the amount of gas in the container increases the number of gas particles

​

• the gas particles need more space and increase the volume

🡹 Gas = 🡹 Volume
