Kinetic Model of Matter Flashcards
1
Q
Explain what is the kinetic model of matter
A
The kinetic model of matter states that all matter is made up of a large number of tiny particles which are in continuous random motion.
2
Q
Explain what is meant by Brownian Motion
A
It’s the haphazard movement of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the uneven bombardment of the suspended particles by the unseen, fast-moving fluid molecules.
3
Q
At constant volume,
A
p ∝ T, pressure is proportional to its temperature
4
Q
At constant temperature,
A
p ∝ 1/v, pressure is inversely proportionate to its volume.
5
Q
At constant pressure,
A
V ∝ T, volume is directly proportional to its temperature
