States of Matter: Kinetic Molecular Theory

We will briefly review our test on limiting reactant and percent yield, and then elaborate upon how matter behaves in terms of a particle’s size, motion, and energy. We will also distinguish between compression and expansion of a gas in a closed container, and realize the distinction between the diffusion of a gas that differs from its effusion process. Moreover, we will define what pressure is and examine how it is measured at different elevations.
