In the space provided, write the letter of the term or phrase that best completes each

statement or best answers each question.

______ 1. The kinetic-molecular theory of gases assumes that the particles of an

ideal gas are separated by great distances. This implies that the gas

particles are considered to have no definite

a. mass.

b. volume.

c. density.

d. energy.

______ 2. Under which conditions does a real gas behave very much like an ideal

gas?

a. high temperature and low pressure

b. high temperature and high pressure

c. low temperature and high pressure

d. low temperature and low pressure

______ 3. If a gas and a liquid are at the same temperature and pressure,

diffusion occurs much faster in the gas because

a. there are more elastic collisions between the particles in a gas.

b. gases are more compressible.

c. the particles move faster in a gas and there is a greater distance

between them.

d. gas molecules are in continuous motion.

______ 4. If the particles in a sample of matter are attracted to each other but

can move past each other e
