BROWNIAN MOTION Brownian motion is defined as the constant random movement of smoke particles suspended in a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the uneven bombardment of the suspended particles by the air molecules. Smoke particles movement Smoke particles are observed to move continuously and randomly as they are being hit by unseen, fast-moving air molecules. The reflection of light off the surfaces of the smoke particles appears as bright specks of lights to observers. BROWNIAN MOTION DARRELL ER (COPYRIGHTED) ©

PRESSURE, VOLUME & TEMPERATURE OF GAS For a gas inside a container, the gaseous molecules will collide against the container wall and exert a force per unit area, giving rise to gaseous pressure. A higher frequency of collision will also result in greater force exerted and hence increasing the pressure as well. Formula: PV = nRT Can be simplified to, PV ∝ T RELATIONSHIP OF GAS DARRELL ER (COPYRIGHTED) ©

Pressure ∝ Temperature For a fixed mass of gas at constant volume, when temperature is higher, thermal energy is transferred to the molecules and gaseous particles move faster. This increases both the frequency of collision against the wall and the force exerted by each gaseous particle. Pressure will hence increase. DARRELL ER (COPYRIGHTED) © RELATIONSHIP OF GAS

Pressure ∝ 1/ volume For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, average speed of the molecules remains the same. Decreasing the volume of the container means that the number of gas molecules per unit volume in the container is increased. As number of molecules hitting the wall per unit time also increases, pressure increases. Boyle’s Law P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 DARRELL ER (COPYRIGHTED) © RELATIONSHIP OF GAS
