    Gas Pressure

    Uploaded by

    Anne Marian Anak JOSEPH
    Gas pressure is caused by the collisions of rapidly moving gas particles with each other and the walls of their container according to the kinetic theory of gases. Reducing the volume of a container increases the frequency of collisions, raising the pressure, while higher temperatures also increase pressure by accelerating the particles' movement. Common tools to measure gas pressure include the Bourdon gauge and manometer.

    Gas Pressure

    1. Gas pressure can be explained by using the kinetic theory of gas


    2. This theory states that gas consists of ​fine and discrete particles ​that always ​move
    randomly in all directions​.
    3. In closed containers, the moving air particles will ​collide with each other ​and ​the walls
    of the containers​.
    4. The collision between air particles and the walls of the containers produces ​air
    pressure​.
    5. When the ​volume of the container is reduced​, the air particles will collide ​more
    frequently with each other and the wall of the container​. Therefore, it will increase
    the air pressure in the container.
    Factor Effect on Gas Pressure

    Volume The smaller the volume, the higher the gas


    pressure

    Temperature The higher the temperature, the higher the


    gas pressure
