CHEMISTRY: BEHAVIOR OF GASES

Gas molecules

collide with the walls of their container.

gaseous particles

In a closed container, the always expand to fill the volume of the container.

Gasses

contain particles that are in constant, random, straight- line motion.

volume of gas

When pressure is constant, temperature and the are directly proportional.

temperature

As rises the kinetic energy increases, due to an increase in velocity.

number of gas molecules

Pressure and the are directly proportional.

Gas particles

are separated by relatively great distances.

Gas particles

do not attract each other.

These collisions with the container wall exert a force over the surface area of a wall

the particles exert pressure on the wall

The kinetic energy Formula

Combined Gas law

mathematical equation to represent the relationships among pressure, temperature, and volume.

Kinetic Molecular Theory

a model or theory that is used to explain the behavior of gases.

gaseous phase

a phase of matter that does not have definite shape or volume

velocity

measurement of the rate of motion
