Chapter 5: The Gaseous State

Question 1

What is the ideal gas law?

Answer 1

The ideal gas law helps determine the molar amount of substance with accuracy of a gas by measuring temperature, pressure, and volume

Question 2

What is kinetic-molecular theory?

Answer 2

It describes a gas as composed of molecules in constant motion

Question 3

What is pressure?

Answer 3

Pressure is the fore exrtered per unit area of surface.

Question 4

What does Boyle’s law state?

Answer 4

The volume of a sample of gas at a given temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure.

Question 5

What is Charles’s law?

Answer 5

The volume occupied by any sample of gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature

Question 6

What occurs when Charles’s law and Boyle’s law are combined?

Answer 6

The volume occupied by a given amount of gas is proportional to the absolute temperature divided by the pressure.
