MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems Flashcards: 4b Gas Laws Kinetic Molecular Theory

Study 4b Gas Laws Kinetic Molecular Theory in MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

What is the Kelvin temperature conversion formula from Celsius (∘C)\left(^\circ\text{C}\right)?

Tap card or press Space to flip

ANSWER

T(K)=T(∘C)+273.15T(\text{K}) = T(^\circ\text{C}) + 273.15. Absolute temperature in Kelvin is obtained by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature to align with the ideal gas law scale.

Practice questions

1 of 50Practice questions for this set
A physiological model treats inhaled air as an ideal gas. During inspiration, thoracic expansion increases lung volume while temperature and moles are approximately constant over a short interval. The question targets Boyle's law. What effect would an increase in lung volume most likely have on alveolar pressure (relative to atmospheric) during this interval? A. Alveolar pressure increases above atmospheric B. Alveolar pressure decreases below atmospheric C. Alveolar pressure remains equal to atmospheric D. Alveolar pressure becomes independent of volume because RR is constant
