While you are learning about the behavior of gases, it should always be assumed that the gas is contained securely within a vessel (unless otherwise stated), so that none of the particles of the gaseous substance are able to leak out. In other words, the “amount” (# of atoms, molecules, or moles) of the gas is held constant, unless told that a container is opened on purpose.
If/when a question that you are asked omits one of the 3 environmental conditions that affect a gas (pressure, temperature, volume), it is important for you to understand that the missing variable is being held constant. For example, in question # 17, temperature isn’t mentioned in the question….so, temperature is being held constant (and therefore doesn’t affect your answer).
18. If the volume of a container is enlarged, what will happen to the pressure inside the container?
__________________________________________________________________________________
19. What happens to the temperature of a gas when its volume is expanded?

20. What happens to the pressure inside a container if the temperature of the gas increases?

51. Go to this website and observe how questions similar to the ones you have already answered could be made into flashcards: Research shows that a very effective study method is asking yourself questions and checking your answers immediately – this is far more effective than reading and re-reading “notes”. The multiple choice section of the upcoming test will be very difficult unless you are prepared to answer similar questions to the ones you’ve worked through in this packet. The more you review and answer these questions, the better your grade will be. The content of the multiple choice section of test comes from the questions you have just answered. Review often so that your brain sorts out, makes sense of, and maintains the information.
If you have extra time and are interested, you might want to go to this website and read about the fourth state of matter, called “plasma”. [This is NOT the same plasma as blood plasma. Blood plasma is the fluid of your blood, without the blood cells. The plasma state of matter is what you get when you energize some gases. ]
