  1. 3. the law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas increases as the pressure of the gas decreases and the volume of the gas decreases as the pressure of the gas increases
  2. 7. the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature of a fixed amount of gas
  3. 8. Abbreviation for a unit of pressure equal to 101.325 at sea level and 0 degrees Celsius
  4. 9. the law that states the mathematical relationship of pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), the gas constant (R), and the number of moles of a gas (n); PV = nRT
  5. 11. the law that states that the volume occupied by a gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
  6. 13. the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
  7. 15. the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density
  8. 18. a theory that explains that the behavior of physical systems depends on the combined actions of the molecules constituting the system
  9. 20. the SI unit for force; the force that will increase the speed of a 1 kg mass by 1 m/s each second that the force is applied (symbol, N)
  10. 21. Abbreviation for the standard conditions of 1 atm pressure and 0°C that scientists have agreed upon to compare gas volumes.

  1. 1. the pressure of each gas in a mixture
  2. 2. a collision between ideally elastic bodies in which the final and initial kinetic energies are the same
  3. 4. the law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases and the volume of the gas decreases as the temperature of the gas decreases
  4. 5. an imaginary gas whose particles are infinitely small and do not interact with each other
  5. 6. a gas that does not behave completely like a hypothetical ideal gas because of the interactions between the gas molecules
  6. 10. the proportionality constant that appears in the equation of state for 1 mol of an ideal gas; R = 0.082 057 84 L • atm/mol • K
  7. 12. Abbreviation for a unit of pressure equal to 1 at sea level and 0 degrees Celsius
  8. 14. the passage of a gas under pressure through a tiny opening
  9. 16. the temperature at which molecular energy is at a minimum (0 K on the Kelvin scale or –273.16ºC on the Celsius scale)
  10. 17. the law that states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases
  11. 19. Abbreviation for a unit of pressure equal to 760 at sea level and 0 degrees Celsius (also equal to 1 Torr)
