Interactive Simulator · Heat the Tin

Gas Pressure

Gas pressure comes from countless particles hammering the walls. In a sealed rigid tin the volume cannot change, so heating the gas makes the particles move faster, strike harder, and strike more often, and the pressure climbs. Pressure is proportional to the temperature measured in kelvin. Set the temperature to reach the target pressure.

Mission Heat the sealed tin to reach a pressure of 150 kPa. Round 1Streak 0Best 0
Heating the sealed tin makes the pressure:
temperature300 K
pressure100 kPa
p ÷ T (kelvin)0.333
pressure is proportional to temperature in kelvin: p ÷ T stays constant.
