interactive for a few minutes….then hit the orange reset button. Change temperature to Celsius, click width and wall
collisions, and click on the green + sign for Particles.
MV =
FYI a nanometer (nm)
RV = is 1 billionth of a meter
CV (2) =
Test # Mass Temperature Length of box (nm) Pressure (atm) # Wall Collisions
# of aps (C) (Volume) atm is a unit used to per 10 picoseconds
measure pressure
1 700 75 C 5 nm
2 700 75 C 10 nm
3 700 75 C 15 nm
Mass (# Particles) and Pressure - How does increasing mass (# of particles) affect pressure?

Temperature vs Pressure graph Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance
Volume vs Pressure graph Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance
# Particles vs Pressure graph Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance
Thinking Questions:
1. Explain how the pressure in the box and number of wall collisions are related.
2. An inverse relationship means as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. Which two variables are
inversely related?
