The diagram shows the movement of particles from one end of the container to the opposite end of the container.Which event is most likely occurring?

Question illustration
A
diffusion because particles move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration
B
diffusion because particles move from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration
C
effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume
D
effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a large opening into a smaller volume

Which statement best describes the collisions of gas particles according to the kinetic-molecular theory?

A
When particles pass close enough to one another, their attractions pull them together, and then they bounce apart with no gain or loss of energy.
B
As particles travel in straight lines, their paths sometimes meet, and then they bounce apart with no gain or loss of energy.
C
When particles pass close enough to one another, their attractions pull them together, and then they bounce apart with a loss of energy.
D
As particles travel in straight lines, their paths sometimes meet, and then they bounce apart with a loss of energy.

A substance is made up of slow-moving particles that have very little space between them. Based on this information, what can most likely be concluded about this substance?

A
It is not a gas because its particles do not move continuously.
B
It is a gas because its particles move continuously in a straight line.
C
It is not a gas because its particles do not have large spaces between them.
D
It is a gas because its particles move in many different directions.
5

The closeness of particles of gas and their low speeds allow intermolecular forces to become important at certain pressures and temperatures. Which best describes this statement?

A
This is a limitation of the kinetic-molecular theory.
B
This is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory.
C
This describes ideal gas behavior using the kinetic-molecular theory.
D
This describes ideal gas behavior without the kinetic-molecular theory.

Which is an example of the kinetic-molecular theory not holding true for a gas?

A
The average kinetic energy of particles depends only on the temperature.
B
The particles in a gas travel in straight lines in a continuous, random motion.
C
The attraction between particles causes a gas to condense at low temperatures.
D
The particles in a gas make up a small portion of the total volume of the gas.
