If you notice that a sealed bag of potato chips bulges when placed near a sunny window, what can you hypothesize about the relationship between the temperature and pressure of an enclosed gas?
-
An increase in temperature causes an increase in the pressure exerted by the gas.
-
An increase in temperature causes an decrease in the pressure exerted by the gas.
-
An decrease in temperature causes an increase in the pressure exerted by the gas.
Correct Answer
A. An increase in temperature causes an increase in the pressure exerted by the gas.Explanation
When a sealed bag of potato chips bulges near a sunny window, it suggests that the temperature inside the bag increases. According to the ideal gas law, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in the pressure exerted by the gas. This can be explained by the kinetic theory of gases, which states that as temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules also increases. This increased kinetic energy causes the gas molecules to move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the bag, resulting in an increase in pressure.Rate this question:

Look at Figure 12.1 on page 327. How does an automobile air bag protect the crash dummy from being broken as a result of impact?
-
The gases used to inflate the airbag are compressible and are able to absorb a considerable amount of energy.
-
The gases used to inflate the airbag are not compressible and are able to absorb a considerable amount of energy.
-
The gases used to inflate the airbag are compressible and are not able to absorb a considerable amount of energy.
Correct Answer
A. The gases used to inflate the airbag are compressible and are able to absorb a considerable amount of energy.Explanation
The gases used to inflate the airbag are compressible, meaning they can be compressed or squeezed into a smaller volume. This allows the airbag to absorb the energy from the impact by compressing the gas inside. As the gas is compressed, it absorbs the energy and helps to cushion the crash dummy, preventing it from being broken or injured.Rate this question:

How do conditions change inside a tire when you pump it up with a tirenumn?
-
Because air particles are added, the pressure increases inside the tire.
-
Because air particles are added, the pressure decreases inside the tire.
-
Because air particles are taken away, the pressure increases inside the tire.
Correct Answer
A. Because air particles are added, the pressure increases inside the tire.Explanation
When a tire is pumped up with air, additional air particles are introduced into the tire. As a result, the number of particles inside the tire increases, leading to an increase in pressure. This is because the increase in the number of particles results in more frequent collisions with the walls of the tire, causing an increase in pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is that the pressure increases inside the tire when it is pumped up with air.Rate this question:

When a sealed container of gas is opened, gas will flowfrom the region of higher pressure to the region of__________ pressure.
-
Same
-
Higher
-
Lower
Correct Answer
A. LowerExplanation
When a sealed container of gas is opened, gas will flow from the region of higher pressure to the region of lower pressure. This is because gases tend to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in order to equalize the pressure. As the gas molecules are released from the container, they will naturally move towards the area where the pressure is lower, creating a flow from high pressure to low pressure.Rate this question:

Raising the temperature of an enclosed gas causes its pressure to ___________.
-
Increase
-
Decrease
-
Stay the same
Correct Answer
A. IncreaseExplanation
When the temperature of an enclosed gas is raised, the particles of the gas gain more kinetic energy and move faster. This increased motion leads to more frequent and forceful collisions with the walls of the container. As a result, the force exerted by the gas on the walls increases, causing an increase in pressure. Therefore, raising the temperature of an enclosed gas causes its pressure to increase.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Describes how gases behave when the temperature increasesExplanation
When the temperature of a gas increases, the gas particles gain thermal energy. This causes them to move faster and have a higher average kinetic energy. As the particles move faster, they also collide with the walls of their container with more energy, resulting in greater pressure. Therefore, the given explanation accurately describes how gases behave when the temperature increases.Rate this question:

-
Explain why it is dangerous to bounce an aerosol can into a fire.
-
Explain why it is dangerous to open aerosol cans over a fire.
-
Explain why it is dangerous to throw aerosol cans into a fire.
Correct Answer
A. Explain why it is dangerous to throw aerosol cans into a fire.Explanation
Throwing aerosol cans into a fire is dangerous because it causes the gas pressure inside the can to increase greatly. The heat from the fire causes the propellant gas inside the can to expand rapidly, leading to a significant increase in pressure. This increased pressure can cause the can to burst and potentially explode, releasing the contents of the can in a violent manner. This can result in serious injuries or property damage due to flying debris or the release of flammable or toxic substances.Rate this question:

-
At constant volume and temperature, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component liquid.
-
At constant volume and temperature, the total non pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases.
Correct Answer
A. At constant volume and temperature, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases.Explanation
Dalton's law of partial pressures states that at constant volume and temperature, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases. This means that each gas in a mixture exerts its own pressure independently of the other gases present. The total pressure is simply the sum of these individual pressures. This law is based on the idea that gas molecules do not interact with each other and behave independently.Rate this question:

The tendency of gas molecules to move from areas of higher concentration toareas of lower concentration is called
-
Gases
-
Diffusion
-
Effusion
Correct Answer
A. DiffusionExplanation
Diffusion is the process by which gas molecules move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. This occurs due to the random motion of gas particles. As gas molecules are constantly moving and colliding with each other, they tend to spread out and fill the available space evenly. This movement from higher to lower concentration is the result of the natural tendency of gas particles to distribute themselves uniformly. Effusion, on the other hand, refers to the escape of gas molecules through a small opening.Rate this question:

If two bodies with different masses have the same kinetic energy, the one with the greater mass must move __________.
-
The same
-
Slower
-

Correct Answer
A. SlowerExplanation
If two bodies have the same kinetic energy but different masses, it means that the body with the greater mass must be moving slower. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object, but inversely proportional to its velocity. Therefore, if the kinetic energy is the same, a greater mass will result in a slower velocity.Rate this question:

-
Gas particles are attracted to each other. k Gas particles have alot volume.
Correct Answer
A. Gas particles are not attracted to each other. k Gas particles have no volume.Explanation
The correct answer is "Gas particles are attracted to each other" and "Gas particles have some volume." In reality, gas particles do experience attractive forces between each other, especially at close distances. Additionally, gas particles do have a certain volume, although it is often considered negligible compared to the volume of the container they are in.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. IncreaseExplanation
As the nonzero volume of gas particles tends to increase, the overall volume of the gas also increases. When the volume increases, the numerator of the ratio (P x V) becomes larger, while the denominator (n x R x T) remains constant. Therefore, the ratio (P x V)/(n x R x T) becomes greater than 1, indicating an increase in volume.Rate this question:

_______________ says that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles.
-
Boyle's hypothesis
-
Charles hypothesis
-
Avogadro's hypothesis
Correct Answer
A. Avogadro's hypothesisExplanation
Avogadro's hypothesis states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles. This means that regardless of the type of gas, if they are at the same temperature and pressure, they will have the same number of molecules. This hypothesis is important in understanding the behavior and properties of gases, as it allows us to make comparisons and calculations based on the volume and number of particles present.Rate this question:
-
- 22.
Why is Avogadro's hypothesis reasonable?
-

-
As long as the gas particles are not tightly packed, there is a great deal of empty space between them, A container can easily accommodate the same number of relatively large or relatively small gas particles.
-
As long as the gas particles are not tightly packed, there is a great deal of occupied space between them, A container can easily accommodate the same number of relatively large or relatively large gas particles.
Correct Answer
A. As long as the gas particles are not tightly packed, there is a great deal of empty space between them, A container can easily accommodate the same number of relatively large or relatively small gas particles.Explanation
The reason Avogadro's hypothesis is reasonable is because it states that as long as the gas particles are not tightly packed, there is a significant amount of empty space between them. This means that a container can easily accommodate the same number of relatively large or relatively small gas particles. This hypothesis is based on the observation that gases can be compressed and expand to fill their container, indicating that the particles are not tightly packed together. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the size of the gas particles does not affect their ability to occupy the same volume of space.Rate this question:

To meet the assumptions of___________of gases, gases must behave in an "ideal" way.
-
Potential theory
-
Kinetic theory
-
Gas theory
Correct Answer
A. Kinetic theoryExplanation
The correct answer is kinetic theory. The kinetic theory of gases assumes that gases consist of a large number of small particles that are in constant random motion. It also assumes that these particles have negligible volume and do not interact with each other except during collisions. This theory helps to explain various properties and behaviors of gases, such as their pressure, temperature, and volume relationships. Therefore, for a gas to meet the assumptions of the kinetic theory, it must behave in an "ideal" way.Rate this question:

-
True about ideal gases and the potential theory.
-
True about ideal gases and the kinetic theory.
-
True about ideal gases and the gas theory.
Correct Answer
A. True about ideal gases and the kinetic theory.Explanation
The answer "true about ideal gases and the kinetic theory" is correct because it states that there is no real gas that exactly conforms to the kinetic theory and the ideal gas law. This is true because the kinetic theory assumes that gas particles are point masses with no volume, and that there are no intermolecular forces between them. In reality, gas particles do have volume and there are intermolecular forces present, although they may be negligible under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. Therefore, real gases behave very much like ideal gases under these conditions.Rate this question:

If a gas were truly an ideal gas, it would be _________to liquefy or solidify it by cooling or by applying pressure.
-
Important
-
Possible
-
Impossible
Correct Answer
A. ImpossibleExplanation
If a gas were truly an ideal gas, it would be impossible to liquefy or solidify it by cooling or by applying pressure. This is because an ideal gas is a theoretical concept that assumes no intermolecular forces or volume for the gas particles. In reality, gases have intermolecular forces that become significant at low temperatures or high pressures, causing them to condense into liquids or solids. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve liquefaction or solidification of a gas if it behaves as an ideal gas.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Ideal behaviorExplanation
A gas that follows the gas laws over a certain range of temperature and pressure is said to exhibit ideal behavior under those conditions. Ideal behavior refers to a gas that obeys the ideal gas law, which states that the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas are related by a simple equation. In ideal behavior, the gas molecules do not interact with each other, and their volume is negligible compared to the volume of the container. This behavior is observed in real gases under low pressure and high temperature conditions.Rate this question:

-
___(P x V)____ (n R x T)
-
__2_(P x V)____ (n x R x T)
Correct Answer
A. ___(P x V)____ (n x R x T)Explanation
The correct answer is (P x V) / (n x R x T). This is because the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, states that the product of pressure (P) and volume (V) divided by the product of the number of moles (n), the ideal gas constant (R), and the temperature (T) always equals 1 for an ideal gas.Rate this question:

-
CO 8 exponent at 40 °C
-
CO 4 exponent at 40 °C
-
CO 2 exponent at 40 °C
Correct Answer
A. CO 2 exponent at 40 °CExplanation
CO2 deviates the most from ideal at pressures less than 20 000 kPa because it has the highest exponent value compared to the other gases. This indicates that CO2 has a larger deviation from ideal gas behavior, meaning it is less likely to follow the ideal gas law at low pressures.Rate this question:

At a specified temperature and pressure, is the number of moles of gas in a sample directly proportional or inversely proportional to the volume of the sample?
-
Not directly proportional
-
Directly proportional
-
Indirectly proportional
Correct Answer
A. Directly proportionalExplanation
At a specified temperature and pressure, the number of moles of gas in a sample is directly proportional to the volume of the sample. This means that as the number of moles of gas increases, the volume of the sample also increases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law, which states that the product of the number of moles and the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature and pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is "directly proportional."Rate this question:

According to Gay-Lussac's law, when the volume of a gas is held constant, the pressure and temperature are directly proportional. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the pressure of the gas will also increase.Rate this question:

What do you notice about the product of pressure times volume at constant temperature? What gas law does thisillustrate?
-
Pressure times volume is constant. This relationship illustratesGay-Lussac's law .
-
Pressure times volume is constant. This relationship illustrates Charles's law.
-
Pressure times volume is constant. This relationship illustrates Boyle's law.
Correct Answer
A. Pressure times volume is constant. This relationship illustrates Boyle's law.Explanation
The correct answer is Boyle's law. Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In other words, as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa. The statement in the question that "pressure times volume is constant" aligns with Boyle's law, as it demonstrates the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature.Rate this question:

The temperature at which average kinetic energy of gas particles theoreticallyis zero is called
-
Negative one
-
Absolute zero
-
zero
Correct Answer
A. Absolute zeroExplanation
Absolute zero is the temperature at which the average kinetic energy of gas particles theoretically becomes zero. It is the lowest possible temperature that can be achieved, where all molecular motion ceases. At this point, the particles have no kinetic energy and are in their lowest possible energy state. It is a fundamental concept in thermodynamics and is used as a reference point for temperature scales such as Celsius and Kelvin.Rate this question:

What does it mean to say that two variables are directly proportional?
-
When one variable decrease, the other increases so that the ratio of the two variables remains constant.
-
When one variable increases, the other increases so that the ratio of the two variables remains constant.
-
When one variable increases, the other increases so that the amount of the two variables remains constant.
Correct Answer
A. When one variable increases, the other increases so that the ratio of the two variables remains constant.Explanation
When two variables are directly proportional, it means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases in such a way that the ratio between them remains constant. In other words, the two variables have a consistent relationship where their values change in sync, maintaining a fixed proportion between them. This can be visualized as a straight line on a graph, where an increase in one variable corresponds to a proportional increase in the other variable.Rate this question:

. Charles's law may be written ___V1__ lower = __V2__ lower temperatures are T1 T2measured on what scale?.
-
Boyle temperatue
-
Kelvin temperature
-
Chsrles temperature
Correct Answer
A. Kelvin temperatureExplanation
Charles's law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, assuming pressure and amount of gas remain constant. The equation for Charles's law is V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V1 and V2 are the initial and final volumes, and T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperatures. The temperatures in this equation must be measured on the Kelvin scale, as Kelvin is the absolute temperature scale where 0 Kelvin represents absolute zero. Therefore, the correct answer is Kelvin temperature.Rate this question:
