Gas Laws

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What occurs to gas particles when the temperature increases?

Back

The particles speed up and move farther apart.

Front

True or False: Gases can be compressed.

Back

True.

Front

What is the shape and volume of gases?

Back

Gases have no definite shape or volume.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

Charles's Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

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

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of gas particles increases.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for a gas to be at STP?

Back

STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure, which is 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere of pressure.

Front

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

Back

Increasing temperature increases gas pressure.
