Term
Boyle's law
Definition
relationship between volume and pressure. At constant temperature, the volume occupied by a gas is inversely related to its pressure.
Term
Charles' law
Definition
relationship between volume and temperature; at a constant pressure, the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature
Term
Avogadro's law
Definition
relationship between volume and amount; at fixed temperature and pressure, equal volumes of any gas contain an equal number of particles.
Term
STP
Definition
standard temperature & pressure; 0 deg C (273 K) and 1 atm (760 torr)
Term
Standard molar volume
Definition
22.414 L; liters that 1 mol of gas occupies at STP
Term
Density formula using ideal gas law.
Definition
d=(Molar Mass*Pressure)/(R*Temperature)
Term
Density formula using ideal gas law.
Definition
d=(Molar Mass*Pressure)/(R*Temperature)
Term
Molar mass formula(s) using ideal gas law.
Definition
M=mRT/PV or M=dRT/P
Term
Dalton's law
Definition
Total gas pressure in a container equals the combined pressure of all gases. The partial pressure of a gas is proportioned by its molar fraction in the mixture. p1=x1 * ptotal, where x1 is the mole fraction.
Term
Graham's law of effusion
Definition
Lighter gases effuse faster; the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Rate of effusion~1/sqrt(M).

(rate A/rate b)=(sqrtB/sqrtA)
Term
effusion
Definition
process by which gas escapes from its container through a tiny hole into an evacuated space
Term
diffusion
Definition
the movement of one gas through another
Term
polarizability
Definition
the ease with which the electron cloud of a particle can be distorted
Term
Hydrogen bonds
Definition
Strongest intermolecular force; occurs only between H and N, O, or F.
Term
Higher the vapor pressure
Definition
Weaker the attractive forces
Term
Lower boiling points
Definition
Weaker intermolecular forces
Term
Higher viscosity
Definition
stronger intermolecular forces
Term
Heat of vaporization increases as
Definition
intermolecular forces increase
Term
Ionic compounds have change in EN values
Definition
greater than 1.7
Term
Polar compounds have change in EN values between
Definition
0.4 and 1.7
Term
A low melting point suggests that ionic bonding
Definition
is not involved
