properties of gases definitions

Question 1

matter

Answer 1

matter is a substance that has mass and occupies space (volume)

Question 2

gas

Answer 2

a gas is defined as a substance with no well defined boundaries but diffuses rapidly to any container in which it is placed

Question 3

pressure

Answer 3

pressure is force applied per unit area
P=F/A

Question 4

boyle’s law

Answer 4

boyle’s law states that at constant temperature the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure

Question 5

charle’s law

Answer 5

charle’s law states that at constant pressure the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature measured on the kelvin scale

Question 6

gay-lussac’s law of combining volumes

Answer 6

gay-lussac’s law of combining volumes states that in a reaction between gases the volumes of the reacting gas and the volume of any gaseous product are in ratio of small whole numbers provided the volumes are measured at the same temperature and same pressure

Question 7

avogadro’s law

Answer 7

avogadro’s law states that equal volumes of gases contain equal numbers of molecules provided the volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure

Question 8

ideal gas

Answer 8

an ideal gas is one which obeys all the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases under all conditions of temperature and pressure
