16
Q

How does the Kinetic Theory of Matter work for solids

A

Particles are moving so so so slowly it is practically impossible to see

17
Q

Gases are made up of

A

Tiny particles of negligible volume (very very small)

18
Q

Random walk definition

A

Gas particles move in a straight line until they hit something and then change direction

19
Q

All collisions between gas particles are

20
Q

Elastic definition

A

The gas particles do not stick together when they collide

21
Q

Can KE be transferred?

A

Yes but it cannot be lost

22
Q

As the number of collisions increase

A

Pressure increases

23
Q

How will the collisions increase

A

More particles

Increase in temperature causes more frequent collisions of gas particles with other gas particles and walls

24
Q

Name of a space with no gas pressure

25
Definition of ideal gases
Gases that follow all rules of the kinetic molecular theory
26
What did Dalton discover
Gas pressure depends on the amount of gas and the average kinetic energy of its particles Total pressure of a mixture of gases is = to the sum of its individual partial pressures
27
What did Graham discover
Diffusion and effusion | The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the the gas' molar mass
28
Diffusion definition
The tendency of gas particles to spontaneously spread out until uniformly distributed
29
Effusion definition
The escape of a gas through a tiny pinhole in a container of gas
30
An ideal gas has
No molecular volume, no attractive forces
31
In reality are ideal gases real
There are no perfectly ideal gases but under most conditions, real gases will mostly act like ideal gases
32
When do gases not act like ideal gases
High pressure, low temperature, high molar mass, and polar molecules
