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

A

Elastic

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

A

Vacuum

25
Q

Definition of ideal gases

A

Gases that follow all rules of the kinetic molecular theory

26
Q

What did Dalton discover

A

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
Q

What did Graham discover

A

Diffusion and effusion

The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the the gas’ molar mass

28
Q

Diffusion definition

A

The tendency of gas particles to spontaneously spread out until uniformly distributed

29
Q

Effusion definition

A

The escape of a gas through a tiny pinhole in a container of gas

30
Q

An ideal gas has

A

No molecular volume, no attractive forces

31
Q

In reality are ideal gases real

A

There are no perfectly ideal gases but under most conditions, real gases will mostly act like ideal gases

32
Q

When do gases not act like ideal gases

A

High pressure, low temperature, high molar mass, and polar molecules
