  • If the gas is heated the particles absorb
    energy increasing the kinetic energy of the particles
  • there is a connection between the temperature of a gas and the kinetic
    energy of the particles of a gas.
  • The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic
    energy of the particles of the gas.
  • the higher the temp, the faster the particles are moving which will cause them to collide with the walls of their container more
  • Absolute Zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees kelvin
  • T(K) = T(0C) + 273
  • The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from a solid to
    liquid. The boiling point is the temperature of which a substance becomes a gas (vapour)
  • Standard temperature and pressure (STP) for gases are 273 K and 1,013 x 105 Pa.
