- This interactive Web site shows that the molecules in a gas are moving
constantly and colliding with the walls of its container. One wall
of the container is a movable piston which is free to move up and down.
Students can experiment with this model by pressing down on the piston
(placing more weight on the piston, adding or removing gas
molecules, or changing the temperature (velocity of the molecules). Helps students
understand that gas pressure is simply the result of collisions of gas
molecules with the walls of the container. Plot
pressure against volume to observe the inverse relationship (Boyle's Law).
