21
Q

What is pressure

A

the outward force of gas

22
Q

What is the formula to find pressure

A

P= Force/Area

23
Q

Whatis concentration

A

the number of gas particles in a given unit of volume

24
Q

What is temperature

A

the measure of the average energy of random motion of particles of matter

25
Q

Do particles move faster or slower with higher temperatures and more energy

A

faster

26
Q

What has more thermal energy then solids

A

solid–>liquid–>gas

27
Q

What is melting

A

the change of a sloid to a liquid

28
Q

What is the temperature at which crystalline solids melt

A

melting point

29
Q

What happens to a solids particles when it melts

A

they vibrate fast enough with thermal energy to break free of their fixed positions

30
Q

What is changing of liquid to solid

A

freezing

31
Q

What is changing of liquid to gas

A

vaporization

32
Q

What happenes to the particles of liquids in vaporization

A

they gain enough thermal energy to move independently

33
Q

What are the two types of vaporization

A

boiling and evaporation

34
Q

What is evaporation

A

vaporization which takes place on the surface of liquid

35
Q

What is boiling

A

vaporization which takes place both bellow and at the surface of a liquid

36
Q

What is the temperature which a liquid boils

A

boiling point

37
Q

What is the change from gas to lquid

A

condensation

38
Q

What is sublimation

A

the change from solid to gas

39
Q

What causes sublimation

A

When solids gain enough thermal energy to become gas

40
Q

Is steam gas

A

no it is water

41
Q

When volume of a gas is constant what happens if temperature rises

A

pressure rises (const vol, /\ temp, higher press /)

42
Q

What is (Jacques) Charles’ Law

A

const press, temp /\, vol /)

43

is Charles’ Law directly proportional

A

yes

46
Q

What is (Robert) Boyle’s Law

A

const temp, /\ press, \/ vol

47
Q

What is Boyle’s Law on a graph

A

inversely proportional

48
Q

What is inversely proportional

A

When the product of 2 varibales is constant (multiply to one [same] number) and makes a curved line

49
Q

If viscosity is high the substance flows ____

A

slowly
