PARTICULATE MATTER

LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• Describe qualitatively the pressure and
temperature of a gas in terms of the motion
of its particles
 STARTER
• Recap : Find the Relative molecular mass

• CaCo3
• NaCl
 KEY WORDS
• HEAT /ENERGY

• KINETIC ENERGY
 Temperature

• If matter is heated and thus its temperature

rises more and more, it can be seen that the
particles contained in it move ever faster – be
it the relatively free movement of the
particles in gases or the oscillation around a
rest position in solids.
• Gas pressure?

All gases exert a pressure. The

pressure depends on the
temperature of the gas and the
volume it takes up,

• When you heat a gas in a closed container,
its pressure increases.
• That is why the pressure gets very high inside
a pressure cooker.
 Pressure
• When pressures are very high and the
molecules are compressed, the volume of the
molecules becomes significant.

• This means that the total volume available for

the gas molecules to move is reduced and
collisions become more frequent.
