Gas Laws Review

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and gas particle collisions?

Back

Pressure is a direct result of collisions between gas particles and the walls of their container.

Front

What happens to the volume of a balloon when it is cooled?

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

What measurable properties can be associated with gases?

Back

Pressure, Temperature, Volume, and Moles.

Front

What occurs to the average kinetic energy of matter when it is heated?

Back

It increases.

Front

What is the term for the theory that states all matter consists of tiny particles in constant motion?

Back

Kinetic molecular theory.

Front

Define Boyle's Law.

Back

At constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

What does Avogadro's Law state?

Back

Equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain an equal number of molecules.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Front

What is the significance of absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a substance has minimal energy, corresponding to 0 Kelvin.
