How Did Kinetic Theory Of Matter Affect The Volume Of A Gas

Satisfactory Essays

When we put gas inside the balloon the gas was evenly spread out making sure that the pressure was constant. This follows the Kinetic Theory of Matter because it explains that the particles of a substance are in a constant motion. At station 1 the balloon was heated causing the energetic particles to have lots of movement and bouncing resulting in the volume of the balloon to increase. At station 2 the balloon was chilled causing the energetic particles to not have much movement and bouncing resulting in the volume to decrease. At stations 1 and 2 the temperature did not change, but it still had an effect on the volume of the gas in the balloon…
