Which statement describes the particles in a gas?
According to the kinetic molecular theory, which statement describes the particles in a sample of an ideal gas? The motion of the gas particles is random and in a straight-line.
What is the movement of particles called?
Diffusion is the movement of particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Molecular diffusion, often called simply diffusion, is the thermal motion of all (liquid or gas) particles at temperatures above absolute zero.
Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas?
Terms in this set (10) Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas? Increasing the temperature of a gas increases the pressure. Which step will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container?
What statement best describes an ideal gas?
Gas is a state of matter in which particles have maximum space between the particle as compared to solid and liquid states. An ideal gas is a gas that behaves ideally and obeys ideal gas laws.
What reduces the movement of particles in matter?
The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. If the gas is heated (i.e. the temperature increases), the average kinetic energy of the gas particles will increase and if the temperature is decreased, the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases.
How is the movement of particles determined?
With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. The actual average speed of the particles depends on their mass as well as the temperature – heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at the same temperature.
Why do the particles in a gas move faster?
In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature , the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster.
How do the particles move in a solid liquid or gas?
In solids the particles are stationary, they don’t move any more than a jiggle. In liquids they move fluidly, sliding past each other. In gasses, the particles are far apart, and they move randomly at high speeds.
Do gas particles move slower than liquid particles?
With incresed energy, liquid particles are able to move faster than solid particles. As additional heat energy is added to a liquid substance, it becomes a gas. Gas particles have higher energy and can move quicker than liquid particles .
How can gas particles move?
Gases are made up of particles (e.g. atoms or molecules). The size of these particles is very small compared to the distance between the particles. These particles are constantly moving because they have kinetic energy. The particles move in straight lines at different speeds .
