Gas Properties Simulation Activity
In this activity you’ll use the Gas Properties PhET Simulation to explore and explain the
relationships between energy, pressure, volume, temperature, particle mass, number, and speed.
This activity has 5 modules:
○ Explore the Simulation
○ Kinetic Energy and Speed
○ Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
○ Relationships between Gas Variables
○ Pressure and Mixtures of Gases
Part I: Explore the Simulation
Take about five minutes to explore the sim. Note at least two relationships that you observe and
find interesting.
• Relationship: as pressure increases, the temperature does as well
• Relationship: as more gas is added, the pressure increases

Sketch and compare the distributions for kinetic energy and speed at two different temperatures
in the table below. Record your temperatures (T1 and T2), set Volume as a Constant Parameter,
and use roughly the same number of particles for each experiment (aim for ~100-200). Use the
T2 temperature to examine a mixture of particles.
Tips:
T1 = __________K The Species Information and Energy Histograms tools will help.
T2 = __________K The system is dynamic so the distributions will fluctuate.
Sketch the average or most common distribution that you see.
