Gas Laws

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when its absolute temperature is tripled?

Back

The volume will be 3 times what it was originally (Charles's Law).

Front

How do gas molecules move?

Back

Gas molecules move constantly and randomly.

Front

According to Boyle's Law, what happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is increased at constant temperature?

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

What is the volume of 1 mole of gas at standard conditions?

Back

22.4 L.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

Pressure and volume are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

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

Front

What does the 'R' in the ideal gas law represent?

Back

The gas constant, which is 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol).

Front

What is the definition of absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a gas has zero volume and no kinetic energy, equivalent to -273.15°C or 0 K.

Front

What is the effect of increasing temperature on the volume of a gas at constant pressure?

Back

The volume increases (Charles's Law).

Front

What is the definition of pressure in the context of gases?

Back

Pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the walls of their container.
