The jet engines pull in air from around the plane, compressing
and heating as part of the process that thrusts the plane forward.
The compression also makes the air more breathable for us,
because it squeezes the oxygen molecules together.
Origin of pressure in a gas
• Origin of pressure: collisions beetween gas molecules and the wall of containers
④ All collisiions between particles aer elastic-this means no kinetic energy is lost in collisions
⑤The temperature of the gas is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
b. Ideal gas: A theoretical gas that fits the description is called an ideal gas.

Gay-Lussac’s Law
Gay-Lussac’s Law – the pressure of a gas is
directly proportional to its absolute temperature at
a constant volume.

2)Using pV=nRT --- weighing a gas is difficult , so the method can be applied to find the relative
molecular mass of a volatile liquid
