Gas Behavior

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas when it is heated in a closed container?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What occurs to gas particles when they absorb heat?

Back

The particles move faster.

Front

What happens to the air pressure in a sealed room when sunlight heats the air?

Back

The air pressure increases.

Front

What does it mean if two variables are inversely proportional?

Back

When the product of the two variables is constant.

Front

What happens to air pressure when the volume of a gas decreases while the number of molecules remains the same?

Back

The air pressure increases.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and pressure in a gas?

Back

As temperature increases, pressure increases if volume 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 a container.

Front

What happens to gas volume when pressure is increased at constant temperature?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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