Flashcardizz on Combined Gas Laws

Front

What does the kinetic molecular theory state about gas particles at constant volume when temperature increases?

Back

The gas particles are moving faster; faster = more collisions-per-second.

Front

What are the three main variables involved in gas laws?

Back

Pressure, Temperature, Volume.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when it is heated at constant pressure?

Back

The volume increases.

Front

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

Back

Pressure and volume are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

How does temperature affect gas pressure according to the gas laws?

Back

Increasing temperature increases pressure if volume is constant.

Front

What is the formula for the Combined Gas Law?

Back

(P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2.

Front

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

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What is the effect of altitude on the pressure of a gas?

Back

As altitude increases, pressure decreases.

Front

What is the significance of absolute zero in gas laws?

Back

At absolute zero, the volume of a gas theoretically becomes zero.
