Q

How does gas produce outward pressure?

A

· Molecule colliding with wall, a change in momentum
· Produces force on wall
· Considering area of the container, a pressure is exerted

Q

If volume of container is same, but gas heated, how is pressure increased?

A

· Atoms move faster due to increase in kinetic energy
· More collisions
· More pressure

17
Q

How does increase of mass of gas (number of atoms), increase pressure?

A

More molecules, more collisions, increased pressure

18
Q

Pressure increases, volume…?

A

Decreases

19
Q

Small pressures produce…?

A

Large volumes

20
Q

Large pressures produce…?

A

Small volumes

21
Q

Look at pages 22-27

A

Thanks bro, i really needed it, but maybe not in the situation I’m in on fucking Sunday

22
Q

Describe each process as ice cube is gently heated

5 processes, include reversal too

A
  1. Solid
  2. Melting (Reversal = freezing)
  3. Liquid
  4. Boiling (Reversal = condensing)
  5. Gas
23
Q

What is kinetic energy?

A

A particle has this due to movement of the particles

Can be measured as temperature

24
Q

What is potential energy?

A

A substance has this due to bonds breaking and overcoming the molecular attractive forces

25
Q

Look at pages 30 - 33

A

I gotchu’ buddy :)

But it’s literally not needed
