This applet also stimulates this virtual situation of gas molecues withing a fixed container. In this app, the user could change the volume, Pressure could also be edited. The best thing about this app is, they also provide a tracking part. A person could trace one of the molecule, and its direction and trail.

Basic Use

in order to edit the pressure, volume, number of particles, or temperature, drag the scrolling thingy in the guage. When you drag it, the value will change to the best value. If the result is out of range, your gauge will snap back to where it would still be within range.

Velocity graph

The Graph displays a graph of the velocities of the molecules in the chamber. The taller the bar is, the more molecules are moving that that speed. There is also a line graph to see the trend of each speed and its amount of molecules that is at that speed. The Red bar overlaying the rest of the green bars on the bar graph indicates the tracked molecule and where is it on the graph.

Possible Activities

Try using different gas particles (He and Ne) and try it in different velocities to see how they move around (blue particles are Ne, and green is He, Red centered particle is tracked particle)
