Define absolute zero.
How do you convert a temperature from degrees Celsius (θ) to kelvin (T)?
An increase of 1 K is the same size change as an increase of ______ °C.
For a fixed volume of gas, is pressure directly proportional to temperature measured in degrees Celsius?
What happens to the volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure as its kelvin temperature increases?
Define Boyle's Law.
State the equation relating the initial and final pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature.
True or False? Compressing a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature increases its pressure.
Describe the arrangement and motion of particles in a solid.
Describe the arrangement and motion of particles in a liquid.
Describe the arrangement and motion of particles in a gas.
In a gas, particles are widely separated — about ______ times further apart in each direction than in a solid or liquid.
True or False? Particles in a liquid are arranged in a regular pattern.
What are the three different states of matter?
True or False? Solids are not compressible.
True or False? Liquids have a definite shape.
Which state of matter has no definite shape and a fixed volume?
True or False? Gases have a definite volume.
Which state of matter is compressible?
What are the properties of a solid?
What are the properties of a liquid?
What are the properties of a gas?
Identify the particle arrangement that represents a solid.
Identify the particle arrangement that represents a gas.
Define random motion (of gas molecules).
Define absolute zero.
How is the temperature of a gas related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules?
Define the pressure of a gas, in symbols.
Why does increasing the temperature of a gas (at constant volume) increase its pressure?
Even in space, the temperature is roughly ______ °C above absolute zero.
True or False? A higher gas pressure means the particles collide with the container walls more frequently and exert a greater force per unit area.
