also known as the general gas equation
Ideal Gas Law
the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, provided the temperature remains constant.
Boyle’s Law
the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
Charles’ Law
the pressure exerted by a gas is proportional to the temperature of the gas when the mass is fixed, and the volume is constant.
Gay-Lusaac’s Law
Attempts to explain the properties of gases and gas laws
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Number of collisions each gas molecule encounters per second:
Collision Properties
The mean distance traveled by a gas molecule between two successive collisions.
Mean Free Path
The state of a gas can be defined using variables such as volume, temperature, pressure, and number of moles. P = f (V,T,n)
Equation of state
Conditions wherein the difference between gas and liquid starts to disappear (T2-106 Perry’s 9th Ed.)
Critical Constant
Substances behave alike at the same reduced states. (Principle of Corresponding States)
Reduced Conditions
A dimensionless factor that describes how much a real gas deviates from ideal behavior. It indicates the ability of a gas to be compressed at a certain condition.
Compressibility Factor (Z)
actual/effective pressure
fugacity
is a measure of chemical potential in the form of adjusted pressure
fugacity
relates to the tendency of a substance for one substance to prefer one phase over another
fugacity
tendency to flee or escape; fugacity/pressure ratio
Fugacity Coefficient (∅)
indicates a change in temperature upon change in pressure
(pressure drop) of a gas at constant enthalpy
Joule-Thomson Coefficient (𝜇JT)
deals with the concepts of heat and temperature and the inter-conversion of heat and other forms of energy.
Thermodynamics
coined the term thermodynamics
William Thomson (1749)
region containing energy and/or matter that is separated from its surroundings
● System
everything that interacts with the system
Surroundings
closed surface surrounding a system through which energy and mass may enter or leave the system
System Boundary
If A and C are in thermal equilibrium, and B and C are in thermal equilibrium, then A and B are in thermal equilibrium.
Zeroth law
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred.
First Law
The state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time in the course of spontaneous change..
Second Law
