Definition
see study guide # 19
Term
Explain Kinetic Energy
Definition
particles are in constant motion
Term
How can the kinetic theory be used to explain the pressure of a gas?
Definition
the smaller the volume, the greater the pressure.
Term
What is the pressure at sea level?
Definition
101.3 KPa

What is the difference in pressure when you are on a mountain vs at the bottom of the ocean?
Definition
in mtns, pressure is low @ bottom of ocean, pressure is at its highest.
Term
if the volume of a container is halved what happens to the pressure?
Definition
it doubles
Term
How are temperature and Kinetic energy related?
Definition
the higher the temperature, the higher the Kinetic energy
