5 Questions
Which of the following statements about gases is true?
Gases occupy less space than liquids and solids.
What is the relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas?
Doubling the pressure of a gas reduces its volume to about half of its previous value.
What happens to the pressure of a gas when its temperature is increased?
The pressure increases.
What is the characteristic property of gases that allows them to be easily compressed?
Gases have molecules that are far apart.
What is pressure defined as?
The force exerted on an object.
Study Notes
Gas Properties
- The relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas is inverse, meaning that as the volume of a gas increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa.
Pressure and Temperature
- When the temperature of a gas is increased, its pressure also increases, assuming the volume remains constant.
Compressibility of Gases
- The characteristic property of gases that allows them to be easily compressed is their molecules being widely spaced and free to move, making them highly compressible.
Definition of Pressure
- Pressure is defined as the force per unit area, typically measured in units such as pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
