Key Stage 3
Meaning
Gas pressure is the pressure on an object caused by a gas.
About Gas Pressure
- Pressure in gases is caused by particles colliding with the object or walls of the container.
- Each time a particle in the gas hits an object or the walls it provides a force.
- The more particles that hit the object or walls, the bigger the overall force it will experience.
- The faster the particles hit the object or walls, the bigger the force that each particle collides with.

| The particle model of a gas showing the particles as red balls and their speed and direction shown by the arrows. The longer the arrows the faster they are moving. |
- The gas pressure can be increased in two ways:
 |
 |
| Increasing the temperature of the gas which makes the particles move faster. This causes the particles to hit the walls of the container more often and with a greater force. | Increasing the number of particles in the container. |
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Gas pressure is the pressure on an object caused by a gas.
About Gas Pressure
- Pressure in gases is caused by particles colliding with the object or walls of the container.
- The pressure from a gas always acts at right angles to the surface.
- Each time a particle in the gas hits an object or the walls it changes momentum which causes a force to be applied to the surface.
- The more particles that hit the surface, the bigger the overall force it will experience.
- The faster the particles hit the object or walls, the bigger the force that each particle collides with.
- The frequency and speed with which the particles collide with the surface determines the pressure on that surface.

| The particle model of a gas showing the particles as red balls and their speed and direction shown by the arrows. The longer the arrows the faster they are moving. |
- The gas pressure can be increased in three ways:
|
|
 |
| Increasing the temperature of the gas which makes the particles move faster. This causes the particles to hit the walls of the container more often and with a greater force. | Increasing the number of particles in the container. | Decreasing the volume of the container. The additional pressure caused by the force causes the gas to be compressed. The force does work on the gas increasing its temperature. |
