Gas Laws Review

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume. (P1V1 = P2V2)

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases at constant temperature?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What is Charles' Law?

Back

Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. (V1/T1 = V2/T2)

Front

What happens to the temperature of a gas when its volume increases at constant pressure?

Back

The temperature increases.

Front

What is the Ideal Gas Law?

Back

The Ideal Gas Law is an equation of state for an ideal gas, represented as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy according to Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)?

Back

According to KMT, as the temperature of a gas increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles also increases.

Front

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

K = °C + 273.15

Front

What is the significance of the absolute zero temperature?

Back

Absolute zero (0 K) is the theoretical temperature at which a gas would have zero volume and zero kinetic energy.

Front

How do you calculate the final temperature of a gas when its volume changes at constant pressure?

Back

Use Charles' Law: T2 = (V2/V1) * T1.

Front

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

Back

Increasing temperature will increase the pressure of the gas.
