Other gases include those that make breads and cakes soft, those that make drinks fizzy, and those that burn to heat many homes. Engines and refrigerators depend on the behaviors of gases, as we will see in later chapters. As we discussed in the preceding chapter, the study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics.

It models the properties of matter in terms of continuous random motion of molecules. The temperature of gases is proportional to the average translational kinetic energy of molecules. Hence, the typical speed of gas molecules vrm is proportional to the square root of the temperature and inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass.
