States of Matter and Gas Laws Test Review

Front

What happens to the average kinetic energy of particles when the temperature of a substance increases?

Back

The average kinetic energy of its particles increases.

Front

What is the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at constant temperature?

Back

Volume increases, pressure decreases.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor turns into liquid water, such as fog forming on a mirror.

Front

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

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth.

Front

Define solid state of matter.

Back

A solid has a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed together.

Front

Define liquid state of matter.

Back

A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, with particles that are close but can move past each other.

Front

Define gas state of matter.

Back

A gas has no definite shape or volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

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