1. Gas pressure can be explained by using the kinetic theory of gas
2. This theory states that gas consists of fine and discrete particles that always move randomly in all directions. 3. In closed containers, the moving air particles will collide with each other and the walls of the containers. 4. The collision between air particles and the walls of the containers produces air pressure. 5. When the volume of the container is reduced, the air particles will collide more frequently with each other and the wall of the container. Therefore, it will increase the air pressure in the container. Factor Effect on Gas Pressure
Volume The smaller the volume, the higher the gas
pressure
Temperature The higher the temperature, the higher the
gas pressure Tools that can measure Gas pressure inside a closed container
