Front

What is the Kinetic Theory of Matter?

Back

The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that all matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion. The type of movement depends on the energy of the particles.

Front

What happens to gas particles when they are compressed?

Back

Gas particles can be compressed because they are very far apart, allowing them to be pushed closer together.

Front

What is gas pressure?

Back

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

Front

How does temperature affect gas pressure?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of gas particles increases, leading to more collisions and higher pressure.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when temperature decreases?

Back

When temperature decreases, the volume of a gas decreases if the pressure remains constant (Charles's Law).

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is held constant.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in gases?

Back

The relationship is inversely proportional; as volume decreases, pressure increases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a gas at constant volume?

Back

Increasing the temperature of a gas at constant volume will increase the pressure.

Front

What is the definition of absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all particle motion stops, equivalent to -273.15°C or 0 Kelvin.
