SPS5a/b Flashcard

Front

What happens to the force of gas particle collisions as their speed increases?

Back

The greater the force with which they collide with the walls of their container.

Front

What can cause a tire to burst during a long road trip?

Back

Hot temperatures increase the pressure inside the tire.

Front

What phase of matter do tightly packed marbles represent?

Back

Solid.

Front

What is the relationship between gas pressure and volume?

Back

The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

Define gas pressure.

Back

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

Front

What is the phase of matter characterized by a definite shape and volume?

Back

Solid.

Front

How does temperature affect gas pressure?

Back

Increasing temperature increases gas pressure if volume is constant.

Front

What is the phase of matter where particles are far apart and move freely?

Back

Gas.

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases, demonstrating the inverse relationship.

Front

What is the main characteristic of liquids in terms of shape and volume?

Back

Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
