12-2 Factors Affecting Gas Pressure Name __________________________Hr______

1. What are the three factors that affect gas 2. How does Temperature 3. How does Volume affect
pressure? affect pressure with set pressure with set particles?
A.________________________________ particles? Large:
Hot:
B.________________________________
Cold: Small:
C.________________________________

4. Sketch a picture of particles going from an 5. Give a definition for 6. How does the number of
area of high concentration to an area of low pressure: particles affect pressure with
concentration: set volume?
A lot:

A little:

7. If you add particles to a container what 8. In terms of kinetic-molecular theory (gas

would the before & after picture look like? particles) explain what happens when you add
moles of a gas to:
Before After a) Metal air tank

b) Thin balloon

9. Create a concept map to illustrate how the pressure of a contained gas changes when the amount of gas and
the size of the container are changed. It should have the following words / phrases: Adding Gas, Removing
Gas, Increasing volume, Decreasing volume, Increasing gas pressure, Decreasing gas pressure, Increase
temperature, Decreasing temperature.

Gas Pressure

container:
