Gases and Gas Laws - Chemistry CP

Front

What is the kinetic molecular theory?

Back

The kinetic molecular theory explains the behavior of gases, stating that gas particles are in constant motion, collide elastically, and that the volume of the particles is negligible compared to the volume of the gas.

Front

True or False: All collisions between gas molecules are inelastic and all kinetic energy is lost.

Back

False

Front

True or False: The volume occupied by gas molecules is negligibly small compared to the volume of the gas.

Back

True

Front

What happens to gas particles when pressure is increased?

Back

Increasing pressure moves gas particles closer together.

Front

Which state of matter has the most kinetic energy?

Back

Gas

Front

What is pressure in the context of gases?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the kinetic energy of gas particles?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of gas particles also increases.

Front

What is an elastic collision?

Back

An elastic collision is one in which there is no net loss of total kinetic energy in the system.

Front

What is the ideal gas law?

Back

The ideal gas law is a mathematical relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles (n) of a gas, expressed as PV = nRT.

Front

What does it mean for a gas to be in a 'state of equilibrium'?

Back

A gas is in a state of equilibrium when its properties (pressure, volume, temperature) remain constant over time.
