Behavior of Gases-- Vocab+Boyle's Law+Charle's Law
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Temperature | A measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the movement of particles. |
Volume | A measure of the size of a body or region in three-dimensional spce |
Pressure | The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface. |
Boyle's Law | This law says that the volume of a gas is inversely comparable to the pressure of a gas when temperature is constant. |
Charles's Law | This laaws says that the volume of a gas is directly comparable to the temperature of a gas when the pressure is constant. |
Gas Behavior Laws | Temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas are all linked, changing one can change the other two. Their relationship is described by gas laws. |
Boyle's: Lifting the Piston | Lets the particles of a gas spread apart. Volume increases, pressure decreases |
Boyle's: Releasing the piston | Allows particles of a gas return to their original volume and pressure |
Boyle's: Pushing the piston | Forces the gas particles close together. Volume decreases, pressure increases |
Charles's: Decreasing the temperature of gas | Causes the particles to more more slowly. Gas particles hit the piston less often and less force. The volume of the gas decreases. |
Charles's: Increasing the temperature of gas | Cause particles to move more quickly. Gas particles his the piston more often and with more force. The volume of the gas increases |
