Matter Common Assessment

The diagram shows atoms in two different states.

Which statement BEST compares the motion of atoms in A and B?

• Atoms in A will move less than in B because A is a solid and B is a gas

• Atoms in A will move more than in B because A is a gas and B is a solid

• Atoms in A will move faster than in B because A is a solid and B is a gas

• Atoms in A move slower than in B because A is a gas and B in a solid

A container of gas is held at a constant volume. Which will most likely happen to the temperature if the pressure of the gas increases?

• The temperature will increase at the same rate as the pressure increases.

• The temperature will decrease at the same rate as the pressure increases.

• The temperature will increase at half the same rate as the increase in pressure.

• The temperature will decrease at half the same rate as the increase in pressure.

The graph below displays the temperature and volume of a sample of a gas.

• The volume and temperature of the gas are not related.

• As the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases.

• If the temperature of a gas doubles, then its volume will also double.

• As the volume of the gas increases, its temperature decreases.

If a gas is at a constant temperature and the pressure increases, what will happen to the volume?

• The volume will increase because it is directly proportional to the pressure

• The volume will decrease because it is directly proportional to the pressure

• The volume will increase because it is inversely proportional to the pressure

• The volume will decrease because it is inversely proportional to the pressure
