CHARLES' LAW Flashcards
Who is the french physicist that studied the effect of temperature of a volume of a gas at a constant pressure?
Jacques Charles
states that the volume of a given
mass of gas varies directly with the absolute
temperature of the gas when pressure is kept
constant
CHARLES’ LAW
The temperatures are conventionally
measured in _______, the SI unit of temperature.
KELVIN
FORMULA OF CHARLES’ LAW
VT=k or V1/T1 = V2/T2
Is Charles’ Law directly or inversely proportional?
Directly Proportional
It explains the state of matter, and is based on the idea that matter is composed of tiny particles that are always in motion.
KINETIC-MOLECULAR THEORY
Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are ________.
Elastic Collisions
True of False? There are no forces of attraction or repulsions between gas particles.
TRUE
The density of gases varies with changes in temperature and pressure. TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
Jacques Alexandre Charles performed an experiment with what?
A balloon, hot water, and cold water
Charles’ Law states that?
The Kelvin temperature and the volume of a gas are directly related at constant pressure.
- A gas consists of a collection of small particles traveling in random and straight line motion. TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
Collisions between molecules are perfectly elastic (that is, no energy is gained nor lost during the collision). TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
There are negligible, attractive, or repulsive forces between molecules. TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
The average kinetic energy of a molecule is constant. TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
