📊 How Temperature Affects Gas Pressure
Figure 1: Gas particles colliding with container walls create pressure. More energy = harder and more frequent collisions = higher pressure.
KEY POINT: Gas pressure is caused by particles hitting container walls. Heat the gas → faster particles → more frequent AND harder collisions → pressure increases!
