1. Which of the following best describes the particles of a gas?
Closely packed and vibrating in fixed positions
Loosely packed and able to slide past each other
Far apart and moving randomly at high speeds
Arranged in a crystalline structure
2. What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume is decreased, assuming constant temperature?
It decreases
It increases
It remains the same
It first increases then decreases
3. According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, gas particles are in constant, random, and motion.
4. The force exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of their container is known as .
5. As the temperature of a gas increases, the average energy of its particles also increases.
6. Gas particles have strong attractive forces between them.
True
False
7. The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) at constant pressure.
True
False
8. Explain why a balloon expands when it is heated.
9. Describe the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. What is this relationship called?
10. Observe the diagram below, which shows a gas in a container with a movable piston. Explain what would happen to the pressure of the gas if the piston is pushed down, reducing the volume, while the temperature remains constant.
