Gas Laws and Pressure Concepts

Front

What is pressure in the context of gases?

Back

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

Front

What temperature scale must be used in gas law calculations?

Back

Kelvin

Front

Which container will have a lower pressure if one is larger than the other?

Back

The larger container will have a lower pressure.

Front

What happens to gas pressure when temperature increases?

Back

Gas pressure increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

What happens to gas pressure when volume decreases?

Back

Gas pressure increases when volume decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between the number of moles of gas and pressure?

Back

Increasing the number of moles of gas in a container increases the pressure.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related at constant temperature.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

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

Front

How does increasing the amount of gas in a container affect pressure?

Back

Increasing the amount of gas increases the pressure if the volume and temperature remain constant.
