Lesson 12

Molecular View of Pressure

Gas pressure is caused by the movement and collision of molecules

  • Collision of molecules into the container only
  • Increase in temperature causes an increase in pressure because the molecules hit the container faster and with more force
  • Decrease in volume causes an increase in pressure because the molecules are forced into a smaller space and hit the container more often
