26 KMT, Gas Laws and Gas Law Formulas Flashcards
(49 cards)
matter with no definite shape or volume
gases
far from each other without specific volume/shape
gases
explains states of matter, based on idea that matter is composed of tiny particles in motion
kinetic molecular theory
postulates of KMT
- gases are composed of molecules
- gas particles are in constant motion in random directions, moving in straight lines until they collide
- collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls are elastic collision
- particles of ideal gas have no attractive forces
- average KE of gas particles depends on temperature
collision between particles and container walls; no overall loss of kinetic energy
elastic collision
force that gas exerts on a given area of container in which it is contained
pressure
units for pressure
kPa, atm, mmHg, torr, psi
3-dimensional space inside container holding gas
volume
measurement of heat/how fast particles are moving
temperature
amount of substance in container is measured using SI unit
mole
studied relationship between P and V in mid-1600s
robert boyle
formula for boyle’s law
P1V1 = P2V2
variables and constants in boyle’s law
↑P ↓V; constant T
studied relationship of V and T; ~19th century
jacques charles
formula for charles’ law
V1/T1 = V2/T2
variables and constants in charles’ law
↑V ↑T; constant P
real life applications of boyle’s law
- respiration
- tires
- soda bottles
- spray cans
- scuba diving
- space suits
real life applications of charles’ law
- hot air balloon
- pool float
- spray cans
- baking
- restoring dented pingpong ball
variables and constants of gay-lussac’s law
↑P ↑T; constant n and V
real life applications of gay-lussac’s law
- pressure cooker
- spray cans
- tires
- guns
- kettles
ratio between presure-volume product and absolute temp. of gas is constant
combined gas law
pressure of certain fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to abs. temp. at const. vol.
gay-lussac’s law
real life applications of combined gas law
- respiration
- tires
- spray cans
- scuba diving
gas at constant temp and pressure; volume is directly proportional to number of mol. of g
avogadro’s law
