Pressure vs temperature

Heat a sealed rigid container and watch the pressure climb.

Open the simulation

What to notice

At fixed volume, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature.

Key relation

P/T = constant

Try this

Double the absolute temperature and see the pressure double.

What you can change

• Temperature: 100 to 600 K
• Pressure at 300 K: 50 to 200 kPa
