2.1 Kinetic Particle Model of Matter
Absolute zero is the lowest temperature possible. At absolute zero (0 K), the particles would not be moving, so they would not exert any pressure.

Cards in this deck

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.
