Particle Pressure π· Flashcards
What is particle pressure?
Particle pressure is the pressure exerted by particles in a substance due to their motion and collisions.
True or False: Particle pressure only occurs in gases.
False
Fill in the blank: The more rapidly particles move, the ______ the particle pressure.
higher
What factors affect particle pressure?
Temperature, volume, and the number of particles.
What is the relationship between temperature and particle pressure?
As temperature increases, particle pressure typically increases.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following increases particle pressure? A) Decreasing temperature B) Increasing volume C) Increasing the number of particles D) None of the above
C) Increasing the number of particles
Define particle pressure in terms of collisions.
Particle pressure is the result of particles colliding with the walls of a container, creating force.
True or False: In a closed container, particle pressure remains constant regardless of temperature changes.
False
What happens to particle pressure when a gas is compressed?
Particle pressure increases.
Fill in the blank: The unit of pressure is ______.
Pascal (Pa)
Short answer: How does the number of particles in a gas affect its pressure?
More particles lead to more collisions, which increases pressure.
Multiple Choice: Which gas law relates pressure, volume, and temperature? A) Boyleβs Law B) Charlesβs Law C) Ideal Gas Law D) Daltonβs Law
C) Ideal Gas Law
True or False: Particle pressure can be measured in liquids.
True
What is the effect of decreasing the volume of a gas on particle pressure?
Decreasing the volume increases particle pressure.
Fill in the blank: In a gas, particle pressure is caused by particles moving ______.
randomly
Short answer: Explain how temperature affects the motion of particles.
Higher temperature increases particle motion, leading to more frequent collisions and higher pressure.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting particle pressure? A) Temperature B) Altitude C) Volume D) Particle mass
D) Particle mass
True or False: Particle pressure can be affected by the type of gas.
True
What is the relationship between particle speed and pressure?
Higher particle speed results in higher pressure.
Fill in the blank: The average kinetic energy of particles in a substance is directly related to its ______.
temperature
Short answer: Describe how increasing temperature affects particle collisions.
Increasing temperature causes particles to move faster, leading to more frequent and forceful collisions.
Multiple Choice: Which statement is true about particle pressure? A) It decreases with more particles B) It is only relevant in gases C) It increases with temperature D) None of the above
C) It increases with temperature
True or False: Particle pressure can be calculated using the ideal gas law.
True
What does the ideal gas law formula PV=nRT represent?
Pressure (P) times Volume (V) equals the number of moles (n) times the gas constant (R) times Temperature (T).
