Gas Laws

Front

What is the movement pattern of gas molecules?

Back

Gas molecules move constantly and randomly.

Front

What happens to gas particles when the temperature increases?

Back

The particles speed up and move farther apart.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in gases?

Back

Pressure and volume have an inverse relationship.

Front

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

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

Define Boyle's Law in relation to gas behavior.

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 regarding gas behavior?

Back

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

Front

Explain the concept of absolute zero in relation to gas behavior.

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which gas particles have minimum thermal motion, equivalent to 0 Kelvin.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

The ideal gas law is represented by the equation 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

How does increasing pressure affect the volume of a gas?

Back

Increasing pressure on a gas will cause its volume to decrease, assuming temperature remains constant.

Front

What is the significance of the gas constant (R) in the ideal gas law?

Back

The gas constant (R) relates the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas and has different values depending on the units used.
