Q

Temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas are all linked- if one changes, the other two factors change too

A

Gas behavior laws

17
Q

States the relationship between volume and pressure for a fixed amount of gas

A

Boyce’s law

18
Q

States that if the temperature increases, the volume increases. If the temperature decreases, the volume decreases

A

Charles’s law

19
Q

Change in a substance from one physical form to another

A

Change of state

20
Q

Examples of changes of state

A

Freezing, melting, evaporation, condensation, and sublimation

21
Q

The particles of a substance…

A

Move differently depending on the object

22
Q

The change from a solid to a liquid

A

Melting

23
Q

The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid

A

Melting point

24
Q

To melt a solid, particles must overcome some of their attraction to each other

A

Adding energy

25
Q

Liquid to solid; change of state from a liquid to solid

A

Freezing

26
Q

The temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid

A

Freezing point

27
Q

For a liquid to freeze, the attraction must overcome the moment of the particles.
