Gas pressure and temperature
What you need to know
Explain macroscopic gas pressure as the direct result of the continuous motion and collisions of microscopic particles.
Explain qualitatively how varying the temperature of a gas directly affects particle velocity, and subsequently alters the pressure exerted by a fixed mass of gas maintained at a constant volume.
Define absolute zero (−273∘C) as the theoretical thermodynamic state characterized by a complete cessation of particle kinetic movement.
Convert temperature measurements seamlessly between the Kelvin and Celsius scales.
