Gas Behavior

Front

What does Boyle's law state?

Back

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant.

Front

When you heat a gas, what happens to its temperature?

Back

When you heat a gas, its particles move faster, so the temperature increases.

Front

What is the purpose of Charle's law?

Back

Charle's law is used to compare the volume and temperature of a gas.

Front

How does the air pressure inside a firm ball compare to the air pressure outside the ball?

Back

The air pressure inside the firm ball is greater than the air pressure outside the ball.

Front

What is 1 kilopascal (kPa) equivalent to?

Back

1 kilopascal (kPa) is equivalent to 1,000 pascals (Pa).

Front

Define gas pressure.

Back

Gas pressure is the force exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of their container.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases, according to Boyle's law?

Back

According to Boyle's law, when pressure increases, the volume of a gas decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and volume in Charle's law?

Back

In Charle's law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is held constant.

Front

What is the unit of pressure commonly used in science?

Back

The unit of pressure commonly used in science is the pascal (Pa).

Front

What happens to gas particles when temperature decreases?

Back

When temperature decreases, gas particles move slower and the volume of the gas may decrease.
