1.

If you increase the temperature of a gas trapped in a non-flexible container, the pressure will...

a)

stay the same

b)

increase

c)

decrease

d)

cause diffusion

2.

In an "inverse relationship", such as Boyle's Law, when one variable shows an increase the other variable...

a)

increases as well

b)

remains constant

c)

shows a flat line on a graph

d)

decreases

3.

According to Charles's Law, if the temperature of a gas decreases then the volume of that gas ...

a)

decreases

b)

increases

c)

remains constant

d)

is shown on a graph with a curved line

4.

When diffusion takes place, it occurs along a concentration gradient from ...

a)

smallest molecular mass to largest molecular mass

b)

least concentrated to most concentrated

c)

most concentrated to least concentrated

d)

largest molecular mass to smallest molecular mass

5.

If you increase the number of moles (or particles) of a gas trapped in a rigid container, the pressure ...

a)

remains constant, only kinetic energy of molecules increases

b)

decreases as this is an inverse relationship

c)

increases as this is a direct relationship

d)

would be expressed with a flat line on a graph

6.

If the volume of a gas increases then the pressure of that gas ...

a)

decreases

b)

increases

c)

remains constant

d)

is shown on a graph as a linear relationship

7.

The Combined Gas Law allows you to analyze a change in which conditions for a gas?

a)

the temperature and pressure

b)

the pressure and volume

c)

the pressure and volume and temperature

d)

the number of moles (molecules) present

8.

When two gases of unequal mass, say CO2 and O2, come to equilibrium at a constant temperature ...

a)

they cease their random motion and separate by molecular mass

b)

they lose their kinetic energy and slow down

c)

they maintain random motion

d)

they increase their kinetic energy due to molecular collisions

9.

If you blow up a balloon and then place it in the freezer, according to Charles's Law it will

a)

explode

b)

get smaller

c)

get larger

d)

freeze

10.

an exponential growth curve

d)

a hyperbola
