1
Q

What does kinetic theory state

A

Everything is made of tiny particles

2
Q

What is temperature a measure of

A

The average kinetic energy in a gas

3
Q

What causes pressure of a gas

A

The amount of ke in the particles of the gas. The greater the ke, the more they’re moving so they collide more often and harder with the container they’re within causing an outwards force on it, pressure

4
Q

What is the unit of pressure and sign

A

Pascals, 1Pa = 1N/m^2

5
Q

What is the coldest temperature in Celsius and kelvin and why isn’t there lower

A

Abosolute 0 and is -273C or 0K. Can’t get colder as it is the temperature of where particles have 0 Ke, so 0 energy therefore can’t get colder

6
Q

What is the relationship between kelvin and pressure

A

Directly proportional, double one the other also doubles

7
Q

How do you convert kelvin to Celsius and Celsius to kelvin

A

Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273 from the kelvin

Celsius to kelvin, add 273 to the Celsius

8
Q

What is the pressure, volume temperature equation

A

(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2

9
Q

What are the rules of the equation

A

If one of the variables are constant, remove it from the equation
Temperature is always in K and volume in M^2, pressure can be any measurement of pascals
