What is the term for widely spaced particles that gasses consist of?
points
According to the molecular theory of gasses, how do gas particles move?
constant, random, straight motion
Describe collisions between gas particles
perfectly elastic collisions with each other and walls of container
Do gas particles experience attraction or repulsion?
no, neither
Relationship between temperature and kinetic energy
directly proportional to each other
What temperature measurement go gasses require?
K, Kelvin
Why do gasses require Kelvin temps?
because they provide an actual value of 0 for absolute 0
What is absolute 0 in C
-273.15 C
What happens at absolute zero?
all molecular motion stops
What is atmospheric pressure at absolute zero?
P = 0
is earth’s atmosphere a solution?
yes
What is the solvent in Earth’s atmosphere?
Nitrogen
C =
C= amount solute/amount solution
What is effusion?
molecules escape through tiny apertures
What is diffusion?
dispersal through a container
