Gas Laws Flashcard

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.

Front

In Charles' Law, what remains constant?

Back

Pressure remains constant.

Front

What causes gas pressure?

Back

Gas pressure is caused by the collisions of gas particles with the walls of their container.

Front

What is Gay–Lussac's Law?

Back

Gay–Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin when the volume is held constant.

Front

What happens to pressure when temperature increases in Gay–Lussac's Law?

Back

Pressure increases.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas if the pressure increases at constant temperature?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What factors can increase gas pressure?

Back

Increasing temperature, adding more gas, or decreasing the volume can all increase gas pressure.

Front

What is the relationship between volume and temperature in Charles' Law?

Back

The volume of a gas increases as the temperature increases, provided the pressure is constant.

Front

What is the formula for Charles' Law?

Back

V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V is volume and T is temperature in Kelvin.

Front

What is the formula for Gay–Lussac's Law?

Back

P1/T1 = P2/T2, where P is pressure and T is temperature in Kelvin.
