Pressure and Temperature & The Kelvin Scale


In our last lesson, we began to explore pressure. We observed how changing both the number of particles and volume affected pressure. We saw that the number of gas particle and pressure have a direct relationship, while volume and pressure have an indirect (or inverse) relationship.

In this lesson, we will examine the effect of temperature on pressure.

We will also be introduced to a new temperature scale in which we will record the temperature of a gas.
