Term
Pressure
Definition
Force exerted per unit area by gas molecules as they strike the surfaces around them.
Term
Common Units of Pressure
Definition

Pa or Pascal (1 N/m2) = 101, 325

Pounds per square inch or psi = 14.7

Torr (1 mmHg) = 760

Inches of Mercury or in Hg = 29.2

Atmosphere or atm = 1

Term
What tool can be used to measure the pressure of a gas sample in lab?
Definition
Manometer
Term
4 basic properties of a gas sample
Definition

Pressure (P)

Volume (V)

Temperature (T)

Moles (m)

Term
Boyle's Law
Definition

An increase in volume or pressure results in a decrease of the opposite.

 

Constant: Temp. & moles

P1V1=P2V2

Term
Charles's Law
Definition


The volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature.

 

Constant: P & n

V1/T1=V2/T2

 

Term
Avogadro's Law
Definition

When gas in a sample increases at constant temperature and pressure, its volume increases in direct proportion because the greater # of gas particles fill more space.

 

Constant: T & P

V1/n1=V2/n2

Term
Ideal Gas Law
Definition

The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.

 

P = atm

V = L

Moles = mol

Temperature = K

Term
Molar Volume
Definition
Volume occupied by one mole of a substance.
Term
STP
Definition

Standard Temperature = 273 degrees

Standard Pressure = 1 atm

Standard Rate = 0.0821

Standard Volume = 22.4 L

Term
Density of gas under standard conditions:
Definition
molar mass / molar volume
Term
Density of gas is directly proportional to:
Definition

molar mass.

 

The greater the molar mass, the more dense the gas.

 

Density (d = PM / RT)

Term
Composition of dry air
Definition

Nitrogen (N2) = 78%

Oxygen (O2) = 21%

Argon (Ar) = 0.9%

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) = 0.04%

Term
Partial Pressure
Definition

(Pn)

Pressure due to any individual component in a gas mixture.

 

The sum of the partial pressure of the components in a gas mixture must equal the total pressure. (Ptotal)

Term
Mole Fraction
Definition

Xa = na / ntotal

 

number of moles of a component in a mixture divided by the total number of moles in the mixture

Term
Hypoxia
Definition
Physiological condition developed due to low oxygen levels.
Term
Vapor Pressure
Definition
Partial pressure of water in the mixture
Term
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Definition

1.) The size of a particle is negligibly small.

2.) The average kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to the temp. in kelvins.

3.) The collision of one particle with another is completely elastic

Term

Boyle's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Definition
If you decrease the volume of a gas, you force the gas particles to occupy a smaller space.  Temp. remains same, number of collisions increases, resulting in greater pressure.
Term

Charles's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Definition
When you increase the temp. of a gas, the average speed and the average kinetic energy of the particles increases. Since greater kinetic energy results in more frequent collisions and more force per collision, the pressure of the gas increase if its volume is held constant. The only way for pressure to remain constant is for volume to increase.
Term

Avogadro's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

 

Definition
When you increase the number of particles in a gas sample, the number of collisions with the surrounding surfaces increases.  The greater number of collisions results in a greater overall force on surrounding surfaces.  The only way for pressure to remain constant is for the volume to increase.
Term

Dalton's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Definition
The particles have negligible size and they do not interact.  Particles of different masses have the same average kinetic energy at a given temperature, so they exert the same force upon collision with a surface.
Term
Mean Free Path
Definition
The average distance that a molecule travels between collisions.
Term
Diffusion
Definition
The process by which gas molecules spread out in response to a concentration gradient.
Term
Effusion
Definition
Process by which gas escapes from a container into a vacuum through a small hole.
Term
Thermochemistry
Definition
The study of relationships between chemistry and energy
Term
Energy
Definition
The capacity to do work.
Term
Work
Definition
The result of a force acting through a distance.
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
The energy associated with the motion of an object.
Term
Thermal Energy
Definition
The energy associated with the temperature of an object
Term
Potential Energy
Definition
The energy associated with the position or composition of an object.
Term
Chemical Energy
Definition

The energy associated with the relative positions of electrons and nuclei in atoms and molecules.

 

Also a form of potential energy.

Term
Law of Conservation of Energy
Definition
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.  However energy can be transferred from one object to another and can assume different forms.
Term
A good way to understand and track energy changes:
Definition
Define the system.
Term
System Surroundings
Definition
Everything with which the system can exchange energy.
Term
Energy Conversion Factors
Definition

1 calorie (cal) = 4.184 J

1 Calorie (Cal or kcal) = 4184 J

1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 3.60x106 J

Term
Internal Energy
Definition
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all of the particles that compose the system.
Term
State Function
Definition
Value depends only on the state of the system, not on how the system arrived at that state.
Term
Summarized Energy Flow
Definition

-If the reactants have a higher internal energy than the products, deltaEsys is negative and energy flows out of the system into the surroundings.

 

-If the reactants have a lower internal energy than the products, deltaEsys is positive and energy flows into the system from the surroundings.

Term
Thermal Equilibrium
Definition
The heat transfer from an object to the surroundings stops when the two reach the same temperature.
Term
Heat capacity is an extensive property because:
Definition

1.) It's dependent on the amount of matter being heated.

 

2.) Water is more resistant to temperature change than steel.

Term
Specific heat capacity
Definition
The measure of the intrinsic capacity of a substance to absorb heat.
Term
Molar heat capacity
Definition
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
Term
Pressure-Volume Work
Definition
Occurs when the force is caused by a volume change against an external pressure.
Term
Bomb calorimeter
Definition
A piece of equipment designed to measure deltaE for combustion reactions.
Term
Enthalpy
Definition
The sum of its internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume.
Term
Endothermic Reaction

Definition

deltaHrxn

 

Extensive Property

Term
Relationships Involving deltaHrxn
Definition

1.) If a chemical equation is multiplied by some factor, then deltaHrxn is also multiplied by the same factor.

2.) If a chemical equation is reversed, then deltaHrxn changes sign.

3.) If a chemical equation can be expressed as the sum of a series of steps, then deltaHrxn for the overall equation is the sum of the heats of reactions for each step.
