compression of gas Flashcards
1
Q
what happens when work is done on a gas
A
it increases the internal energy of the gas
therefore Ke
therefore temperature.
2
Q
what is internal energy
A
energy stored in a system of particles both kinetic and potential of all particles
3
Q
how do gas particles collide with walls and what does this create
A
at 90 degrees
gas pressure
4
Q
how is kinetic energy associated to the gas
A
by temperature
5
Q
What two things increase gas pressure
A
Number of collisions per second
increase energy of gas
6
Q
What does a high temp lead to in gases
A
more kinetic energy therefore
more collisions per second
higher energy of collisions
