Gas Laws Vocabulary
Across
- 1. law: states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure
- 3. zero: zero on the Kevin scale, which represents the lowest possible theoretical temperature
- 6. volume: is the volume of one mole of a substance
- 7. energy: energy which an object has because of its positon
- 8. a form of energy that flows from a warmer object to a cooler object
- 11. a chemical reaction or process in which a greater amount of energy is required to break the existing bonds in the reactants than is released when the new bonds form in the products molecules
- 12. the heat content of a system at constant pressure
- 13. law: states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas varies directly with the kelvin temperature when the volume remains constant
- 14. heat: the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius
- 17. an insulated device that is used to measure the amount of heat released or absorbed during a physical or chemical process
Down
- 2. temperature and pressure: temperature of 273 K and 1 (atm) pressure
- 4. a chemical reaction or process in which more energy is release than is required to break bonds in the in the initial reactants
- 5. the SI unit of heat and energy
- 9. a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
- 10. law: states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature at constant pressure
- 15. gas law: describes the physical behavior of an ideal gas in terms of pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of gas
- 16. energy: energy an object possesses due to its motion
- 18. of conservation of energy: states that in any chemical reaction or physical process, energy may change from one form to another, but it is neither created nor destroyed
- 19. the capacity to do work or produce heat
