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.
