Gas Laws Flashcards
What did Boyle discover
Pressure-volume relationship
For a given mass of a gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure
What did Charles discover
Temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure
For a given mass of a gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin
What did Gay-Lussac discover
Temperature and pressure
For a given volume of gas, as the temperature of an enclosed gas increases, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional
Combined gas law
Relationship between temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas
True or false: Boyle’s law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume
True
True or false: Charle’s law states that volume and temperature are directly proportional
True
True or false: Gay-Lussac’s law states that pressure and temperature are directly proportional
True
True or false: If the pressure is increased by a factor of 3 times then the volume will increase by a factor of 2 times
False
True or false: If the temperature is increased by a factor of 2 times then the pressure will increase by a factor of 2 times
True
True or false: Decreasing the volume of a container by 1/2 will double the pressure
True
True or false: A graph of volume vs. temperature will produce a curve
False
True or false: A graph of an inversely proportional relationship will produce a straight line
False
True or false: When steam condenses in a closed container a partial vacuum is created
True
True or false: A balloon placed in cold water will increase in volume
False
Kinetic Theory of Matter
All particles of matter are in constant motion
How does the Kinetic Theory of Matter work for solids
Particles are moving so so so slowly it is practically impossible to see
Gases are made up of
Tiny particles of negligible volume (very very small)
Random walk definition
Gas particles move in a straight line until they hit something and then change direction
All collisions between gas particles are
Elastic
Elastic definition
The gas particles do not stick together when they collide
Can KE be transferred?
Yes but it cannot be lost
As the number of collisions increase
Pressure increases
How will the collisions increase
More particles
Increase in temperature causes more frequent collisions of gas particles with other gas particles and walls
Name of a space with no gas pressure
Vacuum
