Term
Units of Measurement for Gases
Definition
same units as volume:
ml,cc,cm3, L
Term
Temperature Units of Gases
Definition
gases must be measured in Kalvin:
C-K= C+ 273
F-K= [(F+40)5/9]-40+273
Term
Absolute Zero
Definition
occurs at 0 K; all molecular motion ceases
Term
STP(Standard Temperate Pressure) Conditions
Definition
T=0 C and P=1 atm
Term
Pressure Units
Definition
atmosphere(atm), milimeters of mercury(mmHg/torr), pounds per in2(psi), kilopascals/kilopaskals(Kpa)
Term
Pressure Unit Conversions
Definition
1 atm=760 mmHg/torr=14.7 psi=101.3 Kpa
Term
Pressure
Definition
defines as force per unit area : P=F/A
Term
Atmospheric Pressure
Definition
pressure that is exerted by the gas molecules in Earth's atmosphere on its surface
Term
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
Definition
total pressures in any enclosed system is = to the total sum of the partial pressures (Pt=P1+P2+P3...Pn)
Term
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Definition
explains gas behaviors in terms of molecular motion and distance
Term
Four Basic Postulates of KMT
Definition
1) gas molecules are spaces far apart; gases are mostly empty space
2)gas molecules are in continuous, rapid, and linear motion(average speed of a gas molecule is 1000m/s)
3)pressure exerted by gases is a result of collision of gases(these are perfectly elastic) and no energy is lost
4) increase in temperature will increase the speed of gas molecules
Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
P1*V1=P2*V2(temperature is the constant variable)
*pressure is inversely proportional to volume
Term
Charles' Law
Definition
V1/T1=V2/T2( pressure is the constant variable)
*volume ans temperature are directly proportional
Term
Gay-Lussac's Law
Definition
P1/T1=P2/T2(volume is the constant variable)
*pressure and temperature are directly porportional
Term
Combined Gas Law
Definition
P1*V1/T1=P2*V2/T2
Term
Molecular Volume of Gases
Definition
*at constant temperature and pressure the volume is proportional to the mass
* molar volume is = to molar mass/density[(g/mole)/(g/)=L/mole
* all gases at the same temperature& pressure have the same molar volume
*molecular masses of 2 gases are in the same ratio as their densities (mm1/mm2=d1/d2)
Term
Avogadro's Hypothesis
Definition
1 mol of any gas under STP conditions will occupy a vol of 22.4L/mole
Term
Ideal Gas Law(used when conditions are unchanging)
Definition
*assumes vol is proportional to the # of mols, absolute temp; is inversely proportional to pressure
Term
PV=nRT(ideal gas aw equation)
Definition
P=pressure(atm), V=volume(L), n=# of mols, T=temperature(K), R= gas constant(0.0821)
Term
PVM=gRT(alternate for ideal gas law equation)
Definition
*n is substituted by g/M(g=total mass of sample, M=molecular mass)
Term
Ideal Behavior
Definition
gases behave ideally at high pressure conditions and low temperature conditions
Term
Law of Combining Volumes
Definition
volume ratio is = to the mole ratio in a balanced chemical equation
