unit B- topic one Flashcards
gas
substance that fills and assumes the shape of its container
diffuses rapidly
mixes readily with other gases
highly reactive gases
flourine, chlorine and oxygen
not very reactive gases
nitrogen and noble gases
space vaccum
has no pressure
physical properties
gases always fill their containers they have neither shape or volume
increase in pressure =
decrease in volume
increase in volume =
decrease in pressure
how do particles in gas move?
move/diffuse spontaneously, through any space
-in straight lines until they hit something (windows saver)
tempature affects
volume or pressure
tempature also means
how fast the particles are going to be moving
boyels law
volume decreased, pressure increases AS LONG as theres a constant temperature
pressure
force per unit area
smaller area=
greater force (stabbed with a stick)
larger area=
less force (pushed by hands)
kilopascal (kPa)
represents a force of 1000N on an area of 1m^2
