Gas Laws

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

Inverse relationship: as volume increases, pressure decreases.

Front

What happens to gas pressure when the volume of the container decreases?

Back

The pressure increases because gas molecules collide with the walls more frequently.

Front

Define pressure in the context of gases.

Back

Pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the walls of a container per unit area.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if its temperature increases while volume remains constant?

Back

The pressure increases because the gas molecules move faster and collide more often with the walls.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of increasing temperature on gas volume at constant pressure?

Back

The volume increases because gas molecules move faster and spread out.

Front

What is the definition of absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a gas has zero volume and molecular motion stops, equivalent to -273.15°C.

Front

Explain the concept of gas diffusion.

Back

Gas diffusion is the process by which gas molecules spread from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and pressure in Gay-Lussac's Law?

Back

Direct relationship: as temperature increases, pressure increases if volume is constant.
