According to Boyle’s law, when the pressure of a gas increases at constant

temperature, its volume

• increases

• stays the same

• decreases

• increases, then decreases

A liquid’s resistance to flowing is called (a)   .

The change from liquid to solid, or the reverse of melting, is called

• condensation

• boiling

• sublimation

• freezing

The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the

• fewer collisions there will be.

• lower the temperature.

• greater the pressure.

• lower the pressure.

Pieces of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) become smaller through the process

of condensation.

• True

• False

(a)   occurs when a liquid changes to a gas below its surface as well as at

the surface.

In cold climates, the amount of snow on the ground may decrease even if

the temperature stays below zero degrees Celsius. The process that best

explains this event is

• condensation

• sublimation

• melting

• evaporation
