KMT OF GASES Flashcards
true or false:
gases consists of very small particles and the distances separating these particles are very large
true
true or false:
gas particles are in constant, rapid, and random motion.
true
true or false:
gas particles exert force on one another
false:
no force
true or false:
when gas particles collide the kinetic energy is lost.
false:
not lost, but transferred
true or false:
the average kinetic energy of gas particles are dependent upon the temp. of a gas
true
true or false:
gas particles experience elastic collision.
true
what are the five physical characteristic of gases?
- shape and volume
- density
- compressibility
- miscibility
- exerts pressure
what are the behaviors of gases based on?
volume, temperature, number of moles, and pressure
what is the relationship of pressure and elevation?
- higher elevation, lower pressure (indirect relationship)
- higher altitude = lower boiling point
which law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at a constant temp. of a gas in a closed container?
boyle’s law
which law states that the temperature is directly proportional to the volume it occurs if the pressure and mass (amt. of gas) remain constant in a closed container?
charles’s law
which law states that the temperature is directly proportional to the pressure if the volume of a gas and mass remain constant in an enclosed container?
gay-lussac’s law
which law states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, assuming **tempertaure and pressure are constant **
avogadro’s law
what is the formula for the combined gas laws?
pv/t = k (pressure x volume/ temperature = constant)
which law does this represent?
a scuba diver descends underwater, the pressure increases, and the volume of the air in her lungs decreases
boyle’s law
