Questions and Answers
When pressure is applied to a gas, the gas contracts. When pressure is released, what happens to the gas?
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is compressed?
What is the relationship between intermolecular spaces and the compressibility of gases?
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.
