Questions and Answers
When pressure is applied to a gas, the gas contracts. When pressure is released, what happens to the gas?
When pressure is applied to a gas, the gas contracts. When pressure is released, what happens to the gas?
- The gas becomes a liquid
- The gas remains the same volume
- The gas becomes a solid
- The gas expands (correct)
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is compressed?
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is compressed?
- The volume of the gas increases
- The volume of the gas decreases (correct)
- The volume of the gas becomes a solid
- The volume of the gas remains the same
What is the relationship between intermolecular spaces and the compressibility of gases?
What is the relationship between intermolecular spaces and the compressibility of gases?
- Gases with smaller intermolecular spaces are less compressible (correct)
- The compressibility of gases is not related to intermolecular spaces
- Gases with smaller intermolecular spaces are more compressible
- Gases with larger intermolecular spaces are more compressible

Study Notes
Gas Behavior Under Pressure
- When pressure is applied to a gas, the gas contracts.
- When pressure is released, the gas expands.
Compressibility of Gases
- When a gas is compressed, its volume decreases.
- The compressibility of a gas is inversely related to intermolecular spaces, meaning that:
- Gases with larger intermolecular spaces are more compressible.
- Gases with smaller intermolecular spaces are less compressible.
