Compare gas conditions
↓ Volumemore collisions → pressure rises
↑ Temperaturefaster particles → pressure rises

Ideal-gas model with a fixed amount of one gas. Particle speed follows √T; dot size, count and on-screen speed are representative, not molecular scale.

  • Roughly double the pressure by shrinking the volume
  • Drop the pressure below 60 kPa
  • Set the pressure to exactly 150 kPa
  • Reach 200 kPa with the volume set to 2.5 L
