The Ideal Gas Properties

  • When the particle strikes the wall, the particle’s momentum changes and loses its speed.
  • Collisions between particles produce opposite directions from the direction of the previous motion.
  • Gas State Equation
  • The gas in the enclosed space despite suppressed molecular motion remains.
  • The greater temperature of the gas in the enclosed space, the gas undergoes expansion resulting in reduced pressure.

Ideal Gas Law

  • Giving pressure from the outside on the opposite side can restore the shape of a dented pimp bulb.
  • The balloon inside the closed syringe can’t expand or collapse even though the injecting tube pump is pulled up because the balloon diameter is too small.
  • The wax absorbs the liquid when the candle is covered with glass.
  • When the egg is on the bottle, the air in the bottle is so packed that the bottle can suck the egg.
  • Temperature cannot affect the balloon so that at any temperature change any form of the fixed balloon.

Gas Kinetic Energy

  • In a closed space, the amount of gas particles is directly proportional to

    the kinetic energy of the gas.

  • As the kinetic energy increases the gas particles in the closed space also increases.

  • The temperature of the gas in the enclosed space is inversely proportional

    to the speed of particle motion.

  •  

    When heated, the movement of the gas particles slows down and the gas

    particles shrink.

  • The kinetic energy of the gas does not depend on the gas pressure.
