What is gas pressure defined as?
Force per unit area
Gas pressure is caused by the constant collisions of gas
particles
Arrange the factors affecting gas pressure in order of their impact, from most to least significant, assuming all other factors remain constant.
1️⃣ Temperature
2️⃣ Volume
3️⃣ Number of particles
The mathematical formula for pressure is
P
=
P =
P
=
F
A
\frac{F}{A}
A

.
What happens to the kinetic energy of gas particles when temperature increases?
It increases
Higher temperatures increase gas pressure due to more frequent and forceful
collisions
The formula

Match the factor affecting gas pressure with its effect on pressure:
Temperature ↔️ Increases with temperature
Volume ↔️ Increases as volume decreases
Number of particles ↔️ Increases with more particles
Gas pressure is caused by the constant collisions of gas particles against the walls of a
container
The formulaP = \frac{F}{
