Gas Laws Review

Front

Boyle's Law

Back

The pressure and volume of a gas show an inverse relationship.

Front

Kinetic Energy

Back

The average kinetic energy of all the particles determines the temperature of the gas.

Front

Effect of Temperature on Balloon Volume

Back

When a helium balloon is placed in the freezer, the balloon's volume will decrease.

Front

Definition of Pressure

Back

Pressure is the amount of atom collisions exerted in a given area of space.

Front

Charles' Law

Back

Charles' Law shows that the relationship between volume and temperature is directly proportional.

Front

Ideal Gas Law

Back

The Ideal Gas Law is PV=nRT, relating pressure (P), volume (V), number of moles (n), gas constant (R), and temperature (T).

Front

Avogadro's Principle

Back

Avogadro's Principle states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of molecules.

Front

Relationship between Pressure and Volume

Back

According to Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, assuming temperature is constant.

Front

Absolute Zero

Back

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a substance has minimal thermal energy, equivalent to 0 Kelvin.

Front

Gas Expansion

Back

Gases expand to fill their container, which is a characteristic of gases due to their high kinetic energy.
