Gas Laws Kinetic Theory Flashcards
Learn the content for the Gas Laws and Kinetic Theory section of the National 4 course.
What causes pressure of a gas in a container?
Gas particles hitting the sides of a container
Using Kinetic Theory state what happens to the pressure if you increase the temperature of a fixed mass gas in a fixed volume container.
Pressure increases
Using Kinetic Theory state what happens to the pressure if you decrease the volume of a fixed mass gas at a constant temperature.
Pressure increases
Using Kinetic Theory state what happens to the volume if you increase the temperature of a fixed mass gas at a fixed pressure.
volume will increase.
Using Kinetic Theory state what happens to the pressure if you decrease the temperature of a fixed mass gas in a fixed volume container.
Pressure decreases
Using Kinetic Theory state what happens to the pressure if you increase the volume of a fixed mass gas at a constant temperature.
Pressure decreases
Using Kinetic Theory state what happens to the volume if you decrease the temperature of a fixed mass gas at a fixed pressure.
Volume decreases
