Term
Pressure
Definition
The force exerted per unit area by gas molecules as they strike the surfaces around them.
Term
How is temperature related to pressure?
Definition
Directly proportional.
Term
How is volume related to pressure?
Definition
Inversely proportional.
Term
How is number of moles related to pressure?
Definition
Directly proportional.
Term
What does "n" stand for?
Definition
Number of moles.
Term
What is the unit that temperature is expressed in?
Definition
Kelvin.
Term
Factors that influence pressure of gases:
Definition
Strength and number of collisions.
Term
What is strength of the collisions influenced by?
Definition
The speed/velocity of particles.
Term
What is the number of collisions influenced by?
Definition
The volume of the container and the number of molecules.
Term
What are the units that pressure can be measured in?
Definition
-ATM
-mmHG
-Torr
-Pascal
Term
Which units of pressure are interchangable?
Definition
mmHG and Torr
Term
What is the standard temperature of gases?
Definition
273* Kelvin.
Term
What is the standard pressure of gases?
Definition
1 ATM (or 760 torr/mmHg)
Term
Manometer
Definition
Instrument that measures pressure of gas relative to atmospheric pressure.
Term
Barometer
Definition
Instrument that measures the atmospheric pressure.
Term
Ideal Gas Law
Definition
PV=nRT
Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
Everything else held constant, pressure varies inversely with volume.
Term
Charles' Law
Definition
Everything else held constant, temperature is directly proportional to volume.
Term
How else are pressure and temperature related?
Definition
Lineraly.
Term
What does NOT happen as a result of pressure and temperature's linear relation?
Definition
There may be negative pressures once you reach a certain negative temperature. Instead, there is absolute zero at 0 on the Kelvin scale.
Term
How must temperature always be expressed in gas laws?
Definition
In Kelvin.
Term
Why are volume and temperature inversely related?
Definition
As temperature increases, gas particles move faster and have harder collisions, thus causing the need for the volume to expand if pressure is to remain constant.
Term
Avogardo's Law
Definition
Everything else held constant, volume is directly proportional to number of moles.
Term
What is the proportionality symbol replaced with in the ideal gas law?
Definition
The ideal gas constant, R.
Term
How is pressure always expressed?
Definition
Atmospheres
Term
How is volume always expressed?
Definition
Liters
Term
Conversion factor: 760 mm to inches
Definition
760 mm = 29.92
Term
Conversion factor: torr to mmHg
Definition
1 torr = 1 mmHg
Term
What happens to particles as temperature increases?
Definition
More and stronger collisions.
Term
What happens to particles as volume increases?
Definition
There are less collisions.
Term
What happens to particles as number of moles increases?
Definition
There are more collisions.
Term
What is the standard temperature?
Definition
0* C or 273* K
Term
What is the standard pressure?
Definition
1.00 atm
Term
Molar volume
Definition
The volume occupied by one mole of a substance.
Term
What does STP stand for?
Definition
Standard temperature and pressure?
Term
Manometer
Definition
Measures pressure of gas relative to atmospheric pressure.
Term
Barometer
Definition
Measures the atmospheric pressure
Term
What is the gas constant?
Definition
0.08206 L-atm/K-mol
Term
What is the molar volume of a gas at STP?
Definition
22.4 L
Term
True or false: one mole of any ideal gas occupies a different volume from the others.
Definition
False: one mole of any ideal gas occupies the same volume as all other ideal gases
Term
Partial Pressure
Definition
The pressure due to any individual component in a gas mixture.
Term
True or false: Each gas' partial pressure acts dependently on the partial pressure of other gases in a mixture.
Definition
False: Each gas' partial pressure acts independently of the other gas' partial pressures.
Term
Partial Pressure Formula

Total Pressure Formula
Definition
Ptotal = Pa + Pb + Pc + Pd
Term
Another formula for total pressure
Definition

Ptotal = ntotalRT

           V

Term
How do you find the partial pressure of a gas evaporated out of a closed container of water?
Definition
Find the partial pressure of the water by referencing the chart and subtract the water pressure from the total pressure.
