9.3 Gas Behavior

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas at constant pressure when the temperature decreases?

Back

The volume of the gas decreases.

Front

What unit is pressure measured in?

Back

Pascals (Pa)

Front

What occurs to the air pressure in a bicycle pump when the handle is pushed down?

Back

The air pressure within the pump increases.

Front

At constant temperature, what happens to the pressure of a gas when its volume is decreased?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What effect does heating air in a sealed room have on the air pressure?

Back

The air pressure increases.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure?

Back

As temperature decreases, volume decreases.

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

How does increasing the temperature of a gas affect its pressure at constant volume?

Back

Increasing the temperature increases the pressure.

Front

What happens to gas pressure when the number of gas particles in a container increases, assuming constant volume and temperature?

Back

The pressure increases.
