What causes gas pressure according to the text?
Collisions of gas particles with each other and the container
How do gases react to different containers according to the text?
Expand and contract to fit the container size
Why must temperature always be measured using the Kelvin scale in the ideal gas law?
To ensure a positive value for temperature in calculations
What happens to gas pressure in a smaller cylinder compared to a larger can?
It is much higher due to restricted movement and more collisions.
What does a decrease in temperature do to the gas pressure?
Decreases the pressure.
How can the pressure of a gas be calculated?
By knowing volume, temperature, and number of moles of the gas.
