identical copy and fill in the graphic organizer below to list three factors that affect gas behavior.
Factors that affect gas behavior:
1) Temperature: Gas behavior is greatly influenced by temperature. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of gas molecules also increases, resulting in higher molecular movement and collisions. This leads to an increase in gas pressure and volume. Conversely, decreasing temperature reduces molecular motion, resulting in decreased gas pressure and volume.
2) Pressure: The pressure exerted on a gas also affects its behavior. Gas molecules exert a force when they collide with the walls of the container they are in. Increasing the pressure on the gas increases the frequency and force of these collisions, leading to higher gas density and a decrease in volume. On the other hand, decreasing the pressure reduces the number of collisions and allows the gas to expand, resulting in an increase in volume.
3) Volume: The volume of the container holding the gas affects gas behavior as well. When the volume decreases, gas molecules are forced to be closer to each other, increasing their frequency of collisions and causing an increase in pressure. Conversely, increasing the volume allows gas molecules to spread out more, resulting in a decrease in pressure.
