What is inside a scuba diver's tank?

Back

Compressed air is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen, that is stored under pressure in a tank for breathing underwater.

Front

What does 'directly proportional' mean?

Back

Directly proportional means that as one value increases, the other value also increases.

Front

How can you increase the volume of a balloon without adding air to it?

Back

You can increase the volume of a balloon by heating it, which causes the gas inside to expand.

Front

What state are gases always in?

Back

Gases are always in a state of motion, meaning their particles are constantly moving.

Front

What does Charles' Law state?

Back

Charles' Law states that the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, if the pressure is constant.

Front

What is the definition of gas pressure?

Back

Gas pressure is the force exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of their container.

Front

What happens to gas volume when temperature decreases?

Back

According to Charles' Law, the volume of a gas decreases when the temperature decreases, if the pressure is constant.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in gases?

Back

As the temperature of a gas increases, the kinetic energy of its particles also increases, causing them to move faster.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas decreases as its volume increases, if the temperature is constant.

Front

What is the definition of a gas?

Back

A gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape or volume and expands to fill its container.
