Gas Behavior

Chapter 3 Section 3 Physical Science

QuestionAnswer
Pressure the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted
Boyle's Law When the pressure is increased, the volume decreases. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increases.
Charles's Law When the temperature is increased, the volume increases. When the temperature is decreased, the volume decreases.
What units are used to measure pressure? Pascals (Pa) or kilopascals (kPa)
What could cause a helium balloon to burst as it rises in the atmosphere? Decreasing outside pressure causes the helium inside the balloon to expand.
What factor is kept unchanged when demonstrating Charles's law? Pressure is unchanged.
How is gas pressure defined? The force of its outward push divided by the area of the walls of its container.
Describe how the motions of gas particles are related to the pressure exerted by the gas. As the moving gas particles collide with the walls of their container, they push on the container walls.
Why does pumping more air into a basketball increase the pressure inside the ball? The greater number of gas particles inside the basketball results in more collisions, which increase the outward push of the gas.
How does Boyle's law describe the relationship between gas pressure and volume? At constant temperature, when gas pressure increases, gas volume decreases.
Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in a closed, rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase. When the temperature increases, gas particles move faster and collide more frequently with greater force.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
