Instructions

Gas particles hitting the walls of their container cause pressure. The pressure increases when the particles hit the walls of the container more frequently. Can you use this animation to explain the following ideas?

  • The pressure of a gas is greater when there are more particles.
  • The pressure of a gas is greater when it is compressed into a smaller container.
  • The pressure of a gas is greater when its temperature increases.
