Proportional Relationships

Gay-Lussac's law states that when the temperature of a gas of fixed mass and volume is directly proportional to its pressure.

The pressure within the container will also double.

Increasing the temperature of the gas increases the kinetic energy of the gas particles, resulting in increased collision frequency against the walls of the container, which leads to an increase in pressure.

<p>The relationship between pressure and temperature according to Gay-Lussac's law is that when both the mass of a gas and the volume of a vessel are held constant, any increase in the temperature of the gas within the vessel will result in an increase in the pressure.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Heating an aerosol can is a cause for warning because as the temperature of a gas increases, the gas particles move faster and hit the inside of the container more frequently. This increases the pressure inside the container, and if the pressure exceeds the limits of the container, an explosion could occur.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The pressure in car tires decreases in cold climates because the air particles inside the tires are colder and moving slower. They don't hit the inside walls of the tires as frequently, resulting in a decrease in pressure.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Ideal gas behavior refers to the behavior of gas particles that move rapidly and randomly, do not lose energy when they collide, and do not have any intermolecular forces. Ideal gas particles do not lose energy when they collide because they are not attracted to each other like real gas particles may be.</p> Signup and view all the answers
