Mixed Particle Behavior/Pressure
100

How do particles move around in a gas?

Randomly

100

What will happen to the pressure in a system if the temperature in the system is INCREASED?

The pressure will increase.

100

What state of matter is represented by this particle diagram?

Gas

100

True or False: Vacuums add particles to a system

FALSE

100

According to the image, what is increasing as volume increases?


Temperature

200

What is the keyword for when particles move on the spot?

Vibrate

200

How are the number of particles and pressure related?

With more particles, collisions happen more often, which leads to a greater the pressure.

200

Draw a particle diagram of a liquid turning into a gas.

 -->

200

What does a vacuum do?

Removes particles from a system

200

Why can gases expand to fill their containers?

Gas particles move freely and are far apart, filling any available space.

300

More particles cause the pressure to...

Increase

300

If I INCREASE the volume in a system, what will happen to the pressure?

The pressure will decrease.

300

How could we represent QUICKER moving particles in a particle diagram? (Hint: think about the arrows)

Longer arrows/ lengthen arrows

300

What happened to the marshmallow when placed in the vacuum chamber? 

The marshmallow expanded

300

Which phase of matter has a definite volume and an indefinite shape?

Liquid

400

What happens to particle speed and pressure when the temperature increases in a sealed container?

The particle speed increases and the pressure increases.

400

What are all the ways pressure can decrease.

By increasing volume, removing particles, and decreasing temperature.

400

Use the image to describe what is happening with regards to pressure.

As the volume in the container decreases, the pressure increases.

400

Why did the balloon expand in the vacuum chamber?

The air around the balloon was sucked out, which allowed the particles in the balloon to expand

400

Standing on your bed or lying down on your bed - Which will have a higher pressure? Explain why.

Standing - because it is a smaller surface area (your weight is not distributed)

500

What happens to air particles in a car tire and why does the car tire decrease air pressure during the winter?  Explain your answer.

The cold causes air particles to decrease in speed causing less collisions which then causes less pressure.

500

Define pressure using the word “collisions.”

More collisions means higher force against the walls of the container, which means higher pressure.

500

Draw a particle diagram that ACCURATELY depicts what adding heat to a system would do to the particles.

*Shows something with a before having slower particles and after having faster moving particles*

500

Why did the vacuum make the water in the beaker boil?

Without air, there were no particles pushing on the surface of the water so it began to boil.

500

How could I represent an increase in pressure in this diagram?

Either:

Add More particles

Faster Moving (Longer Arrow)

Flames Under System (Increased Heat)

Smaller Volume
