Gas temperature + pressure / volume- SP14 Flashcards
the faster the average speed of the particles in a gas….?
the higher the temperature
what is the temperature of a gas a measure of?
average kintetic energy of the paticles in the gas
what is the pressure of a gas due to?
forces on the walls of a container caused by the moving particles hitting the walls
when particles are faster moving…?
more frequent collisions and more forces they will exert when they collide
for a fixed mass of gas in a fixed volume, what increases, why?
pressure - due to temperature increases
what is the unit for pressure?
pascals
what is the symbol for pascals?
(Pa)
1Pa =?
1N/m2
what temperature is ‘absolute zero’?
273C
why is absolute zero called that?
because if a gas could be made that cold, it’s pressure would be zero and the particles would not be moving
what measured temperatures relative to absolute zero?
kelvin temperature scale
what does the kelvin temperature scale measure?
temperatures relative to absolute zero
what is the unit for kelvin temp scale? (+ symbol)
Klevin - K
what is 1K the same temp interval as?
1C
what is absolute zero in Ks?
0K
