What state is compressible?

Gas

100

Name a KMT assumption

1. Gas particles are in constant, random movement

2. Gas particles have a defined mass but not a defined volume. 

3. Gas particles don't repel or attract each other 

4. Gas particles interact with each other and the container walls through elastic collision

5. Average Kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature

100

What does the unit 'atm' represent?

Standard atmospheric pressure.

200

Which force is the weakest?

Nonpolar forces between molecules

200

Which type of kinetic energy do particles spinning on an axis?

Rotational Kinetic Energy
200

760 mmHg = ? torr

760 torr

(mmHg and torr are the same measurement)

300

____ forces require more kinetic energy to pull particles apart

Stronger

KMT is a theory that explains behaviour and properties of gases under ordinary ____ and ___?

KMT is a theory that explains behaviour and properties of gases under ordinary _temperatur_ and _pressure_?

300

0.8106 bar = ? atm 

(round to 4 significant figures)

0.8000 atm (0.8106 bar ÷ 1.01325 bar = 0.7999~ = 0.8000 atm)

400

Increase pressure = ___ Volume

Decrease

400

What is an "Ideal Gas"?

A hypothetical substance that always obeys the gas laws, has a defined mass, but no volume or attractive forces

400

150 000 Pa = ? psi

21.8 psi

(150 000 Pa ÷ 101325 Pa = 1.48atm ; 1.48 atm x 14.7 psi = 21.8 psi)

500

Does calcium chloride (CaCl2) or phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) have a higher boiling point?

calcium chloride (CaCl2)

500

How is the volume of a gas affected by an increase in temperature?

Volume increases

The atmospheric pressure is reported as 29.92 mmHg (inches of mercury). Convert this to atm, then to kPa and Pa. (Hint: 1 inHg = 25.4 mmHg)

1. 1 atm (29.92 inHg x 25.4 mmHg = 760 mmHg ; 760 mmHg ÷ 760 mmHg = 1 atm)

2. 101.325 kPa (1 atm x 101.325 kPa = 101.325 kPa)

3.  101 325 Pa (1 atm x 101 325 Pa = 101 325 Pa)
