Gases Flashcards
(70 cards)
is a measure of the change in volume of a sample of matter resulting from a pressure change.
compressibIlity
is a measure of the change in volume of a sample of matter resulting from a temperature change.
thermal expansion
set of five statements used to explain the physical behavior
of the three states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases).
kinetic molecular theory of matter
is energy that matter possesses because of particle motion.
kinetic energy
is stored energy that matter possesses as a result of its position, condition, and/or composition
potential energy
Five Statements of KMT
- Matter is ultimately composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or
ions) that have definite and characteristic sizes that do not change. - The particles are in constant random motion and therefore possess kinetic energy.
- The particles interact with one another through attractions and repulsions and therefore possess potential energy.
- The kinetic energy (velocity) of the particles increases as the
temperature is increased. - The particles in a system transfer energy to each other through elastic collisions.
is the physical state characterized by a complete dominance of kinetic energy (disruptive forces) over potential energy (cohesive forces).
gas
is the physical state characterized by potential energy (cohesive forces)
and kinetic energy (disruptive forces) of about the same magnitude.
liquid
is the physical state characterized by a dominance of potential energy (cohesive
forces) over kinetic energy (disruptive forces).
