The particle model and heating - OCR 21st CenturyGas pressure

The particle model describes the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases. It can be used to predict changes when matter is heated.

Gas pressure

If the of a container with a gas inside stays the same, the pressure of a gas increases as its increases.

As a result, the gas particles will be travelling faster and will collide with the walls of the container more frequently, and with more .

This means that there is a between and temperature. If a pressure gauge is connected to a flask of air and the flask is heated, a graph of pressure against temperature can be produced.

Graph of pressure against temperature. The line starts at 0 degrees C and three units of pressure, rising steadily to six units of pressure at 100 degrees C.
