1
Q
Gas Pressure
A
the force per unit area exerted by a gas thru collisions against a defined area of the container
2
Q
Mean Free Path
A
the average distance a particle can travel before colliding with another particle
3
Q
Boltzmann’s Distribution
A
not all particles have the same KE, random distribution of energies, mean KE corresponds to a point slightly right of the apex
4
Q
Charles’s Law
A
if temp of a gas is increased at constant pressure and constant moles, then its volume increases proportionally
