Q

why is absolute zero called that?

A

because if a gas could be made that cold, it’s pressure would be zero and the particles would not be moving

Q

What is needed to convert from kelvin into degrees celsius?

A

subtract 273

16
Q

what is needed to convert from dregrees celsius into kelvin

A

add 273

17
Q

what is the average kinetic energu of particles in a gas directly proportional to?

A

kelvin temperature of gas

18
Q

what is the effect of gas particles hitting a surface?

A

overall force on the surface acting at right angles to the surface - detecting as gas pressure

19
Q

what happens when the same number of particles at the same temp is put into a smaller environment?

A

the particles collide more often and so hit the walls more often - increasing force on walls and so gas pressure

20
Q

what is the equation for volume and pressure of a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure?

A

P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

21
Q

what does P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 mean?

A

starting pressure x starting volume = final pressure x final volume

22
Q

why does a bicycle pump get warm when used?

A

as piston of pump moves, speed of particles increases when they bounce off. average speed inside pump increases - increase in temperature detected
