Behavior of Gases

Front

What is the pressure of a gas?

Back

The force of a gas's outward push divided by the area of the walls of the container.

Front

What does the term 'inverse' mean?

Back

Opposite.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas when the temperature increases?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas when more gas is pumped into a container?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

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

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

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

Back

The volume will decrease.

Front

What is the relationship between the speed of gas particles and pressure?

Back

The greater the speed of gas particles, the greater the pressure.

Front

What is the definition of volume in the context of gases?

Back

The amount of space that a gas occupies.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a gas on its volume?

Back

The volume will increase.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in a gas?

Back

They are inversely related; as volume decreases, pressure increases.
