FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Why does a balloon get smaller when taken outside on a cold day?

Media Image

Back

Because the molecules in the balloon have slowed down with the decreased temperature

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Why do the molecules inside a bicycle tire speed up as the temperature gets warmer?

Media Image

Back

Because the heat is transferred to the molecules and gives them more kinetic energy

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas under more pressure at constant temperature?

Back

The volume will decrease

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Carlos measured the tire pressure of his truck after a cold night. The daytime temperature reached 65°F. Explain the change in tire pressure.

Media Image

Back

The air molecules heated inside the tire causing them to move faster, exerting more pressure on the inside walls of the tires.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How will the behavior of the gases in the piston chamber change if heat is applied to the system? Assume the piston moves to keep the pressure constant.

Media Image

Back

The gas particles will increase in speed

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If the pressure of a sample of gas is doubled at a constant temperature, what happens to the volume of the gas?

Back

The volume is halved

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Why does a balloon expand when taken to a higher elevation if the temperature remains constant?

Back

The decrease in atmospheric pressure (relative to pressure inside the balloon) causes it to expand
