Gas Laws and KMT

Front

What does the kinetic molecular theory state about the volume of particles in an ideal gas?

Back

The particles are considered to have negligible volume.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas in a sealed container when the temperature increases?

Back

The pressure will increase.

Front

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

Back

They are inversely related; as pressure increases, volume decreases (Boyle's Law).

Front

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

Back

The volume of the gas will decrease (Charles's Law).

Front

What is the formula for the ideal gas law?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of increasing the number of moles of gas in a container at constant temperature and volume?

Back

The pressure will increase.

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.

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 happens to the gas particles in a balloon when it is placed in the freezer?

Back

The gas particles lose energy, causing the volume of the balloon to decrease.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy of gas particles?

Back

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