Particle Motion in Gases

• What type of motion do gas molecules exhibit?

  Constant random motion
• How is the temperature of a gas related to its molecules?

  It relates to the average kinetic energy
• What happens to the kinetic energy of gas particles as temperature increases?

  Kinetic energy of particles increases
• What effect does changing the temperature of a gas have at constant volume?

  It changes the pressure exerted by the gas
• How does temperature affect the pressure of a gas at constant volume?

  Higher temperature results in higher pressure
