States of Matter & The KMT: Gases
Main Idea Notes
The Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases applies to ____________________________. Some gases
nearly behave as ideal gases. But, in reality there is _____________________________________.
Gases deviate the most from the ideal gas when ________________________________________
Ideal Gases ________________________________________________________________________________
Why do you think gases do not behave like ideal gases when the pressure is too high or the
temperature is too low? ___________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
Expansion: Gases do not have a ______________________________ or a ___________________
______________________. They completely fill the container in which they are enclosed.
Gases move __________________________________________________________ without any
significant ______________________________________________________________________.
Fluidity: Forces between gas particles are so insignificant that they _________________________
______________________.
Gases, as well as liquids, _______________ and are both ___________________.
Density: Since gases are spaced so far apart, the density of gases is about ___________________
_________________________ of the same gas in a liquid or solid state.
Compressibility: Gases are ____________________ compressed because ___________________
Pro perties o f ________________________________________________________________________________
Gases Re f lected
by the KMT Diffusion & Effusion: Gases spread out and ____________________________________________
spontaneously, even without _____________________.
Diffusion: the spontaneous mixture of the gas particles of two or more substances caused by
_____________________________________.
Effusion: The process of gas particles ________________________________________________
Effusion of gases is directly related to ________________________________________
Lighter gas particles ________________________________ than heavier gas particles.
Diffusion & Effusion Drawings: Draw and label two diagrams that demonstrates the differences.
