WORK ON A GAS (HIGHER TIER)

Work is the transfer of energy by a force. Doing work on a gas increases the internal energy of the gas and can cause its temperature to rise.

This is why a bicycle pump gets warm when used.

Why the Gas Warms

Particle model of matter

Lesson 6 of 6

A chain of ideas.

1

Push the piston

You apply a force that moves the piston: work is done on the gas.

2

Energy transferred

The energy is transferred to the gas particles.

3

Kinetic energy increases

The particles move faster.

4

Temperature rises

The average kinetic energy of the gas increases.

Bicycle Pump

Particle model of matter

Lesson 6 of 6

Explain why the barrel of a bicycle pump gets hot when the pump is used to inflate a tyre.

1

Work done

The force on the piston does work on the air inside

2

Internal energy

The internal energy of the air increases as the energy is transferred to its molecules

3

Temperature

The temperature of the air rises, and thermal energy is transferred to the barrel

ANSWER

Work is done on the air, increasing its internal energy and temperature, which warms the pump.

Exam Points

Particle model of matter

Lesson 6 of 6

How to score the marks.

Say 'work is done'

Name the force and the energy transfer.

Link to internal energy

Increase in internal energy of the gas.

Link to temperature

Average kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so temperature rises.

YOUR TASK

Warm Pump

8 minutes

You pump up a tyre and the base of the pump gets warm. Explain why using the ideas of work and internal energy.

1

Say what is being done to the gas.

2

Link to temperature.

WHAT A GOOD ANSWER SHOWS

Work is done on the air by the force pushing the piston. This increases the internal energy of the air (kinetic energy of the molecules), so the temperature increases and the pump warms.
