Gas Laws

Front

What does Charles' Law state?

Back

As Volume goes up, temperature goes up.

Front

What happens to the volume of a helium balloon when placed in the freezer?

Back

The balloon's volume will decrease.

Front

What is absolute zero?

Back

Absolute zero is 0 K, where there is no molecular movement, and it is the coldest temperature possible.

Front

How is pressure defined in the context of gases?

Back

Pressure is created by the force of the gas particles impacting the walls of the container.

Front

What is the pressure exerted by 5.00 moles of nitrogen gas in a 30.0 Liter container at 25.0 °C?

Back

4.08 atm.

Front

What is the formula for Charles' Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's Law?

Back

As pressure increases, volume decreases (P1V1 = P2V2).

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Front

What does Gay-Lussac's Law state?

Back

At constant volume, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Front

What is the significance of the gas constant (R) in the ideal gas law?

Back

R is a proportionality constant that relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas.
