Thernal Expansion Flashcards
1
Q
What is the coefficient of linear expansion?
A
The amount by which unit length of a substance expands when it’s temperature is raised by 1 degree
2
Q
What are the gas laws?
A
Boyle’s law
Charles law
The law of pressures
A of which combine into the general gas law
3
Q
What does increasing pressure do to the boiling point of a liquid?
A
Raise the boiling point
4
Q
What is the general gas law?
A
(P1 x V1) ÷ T1 = (P2 x V2) ÷ T2
P1 = Pressure of gas 1
V1 = Volume of gas 1
T1 = Temperature of gas 1
P2 = Pressure of gas 2
V2 = Volume of gas 2
T2 = Temperature of gas 2
