kinetic model of matter Flashcards
kinetic model of matter
states that the tiny particles that make up matter are always in continuous random motion
Brownian motion
refers to the observed random movement of particles in a fluid
effects of a rise in temp on matter (s,l,g)
avg KE of particles increases, solid particles vibrate more vigorously about their fixed position, liquid and gas move about freely at higher speeds and collide with one another more frequently
pressure in gas
when an air molecule collides with the inner wall of the container, a force is exerted on the wall. reaction force is exerted on the air molecule upon the collision
pressure temperature rs (gas)
temperature increase, air particles gain KE, collide more frequently and more vigorously. pressure increase
directly proportional
pressure volume rs (gas)
volume decreases, number of molecules per unit volume increases, collide more frequently and more vigorously, pressure increases
inversely proportional
volume temperature rs (gas)
temperature increases, air particles gain KE, collide more frequently and more vigorously, pressure increases
gas pressure exceeds atm pressure, a net upward force acts on the free moving piston pushing it upwards, volume of gas increases, number of molecules per unit volume decreases, frequency and pressure decreases
vol and temp are directly proportional
