What is the relationship between pressure and volume in gases?

Back

Inverse relationship: As the volume of a gas increases, the pressure decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What state of matter is water vapor?

Back

Gas

Front

What three variables are involved in gas laws?

Back

Pressure, Temperature, Volume

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of molecules as they move faster?

Back

The kinetic energy increases, causing the molecules to spread out more.

Front

Which state of matter has the most kinetic energy?

Back

Gas

Front

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

Back

Pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the walls of their container.

Front

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

Back

Volume is the amount of space that a gas occupies.

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 happens to gas pressure when temperature increases?

Back

Gas pressure increases if the volume is held constant.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.
