Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas?

Increasing the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure.

Increasing the temperature of a gas increases the pressure.

Increasing the pressure on a gas decreases the volume.

Increasing the pressure on a gas increases the volume.

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

The average kinetic energy of particles depends only on the temperature.

The particles in a gas travel in straight lines in a continuous, random motion.

The attraction between particles causes a gas to condense at low temperatures.

The particles in a gas make up a small portion of the total volume of the gas.

The table describes a gas stored in four different containers. Properties of Stored GasContainerProperties1· Low number of collisions with container walls· Medium average kinetic energy· Large number of particles2· Large number of collisions with container walls· Medium average kinetic energy· Small number of particles with little spaces between them3· Large number of collisions with container walls· High average kinetic energy· Large number of particles with large spaces between them4· Few collisions with container walls· Low average kinetic energy· Small number of particlesWhich container has gas stored at the highest temperature?

Which statement describes effusion?

It occurs when a gas passes through a tiny hole.

It occurs when a liquid passes through a tiny hole.

It occurs when gas molecules disperse throughout a container.

It occurs when a liquid disperses throughout a container.

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

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.

As particles travel in straight lines, their paths sometimes meet, and then they bounce apart with no gain or loss of energy.

When particles pass close enough to one another, their attractions pull them together, and then they bounce apart with a loss of energy.

As particles travel in straight lines, their paths sometimes meet, and then they bounce apart with a loss of energy.

If gas particles start colliding with the walls of their metallic container with increased force, what is their direct effect?

lower gas pressure

higher gas pressure

lower volume of gas

higher volume of gas

Which sequence represents the relationship between temperature and volume as explained by the kinetic-molecular theory?

higher temperature more kinetic energy more space between particles higher volume

higher temperature less kinetic energy less space between particles higher volume

higher temperature more kinetic energy less space between particles lower volume

higher temperature less kinetic energy more space between particles lower volume

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?

diffusion because particles move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration

diffusion because particles move from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration

effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume

effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a large opening into a smaller volume

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?

It is not a gas because its particles do not move continuously.

It is a gas because its particles move continuously in a straight line.

It is not a gas because its particles do not have large spaces between them.

It is a gas because its particles move in many different directions.
