What are vapors?
gaseous state of any substance that normally exists as a liquid or solid
What does the volume of gas=?
volume of tis containter
How are gases highly compressible?
pressure is applied to a gas its volume readily decreases.
Are solids or liquids readily compressible?
no
What kind of a mixture does gases form?
forming homogeneous mixtures
Do all gases exert pressure on any surface if they are in contact?
yes
How do the molecules of gas move?
chaoticllay, colliding with each other and with the walls of their container
How do you find the pressure of gas?
P=F/A
What does A stand for on the equation to find pressure of gas?
area
What does the F in the equation for pressure of gas stand for?
force
What energy of gas overides its gravitational force?
thermal energies of motion(kinetic energies)
What is atmospheric pressure?
as the force exerted by the atmosphere on a given surface area
How do you find the magnitude of atmospheric pressure?
F=ma
What does a stand for in the magnitude eof atmospheric pressure equation?
acceleration
What is the equation to find gravitational force of the atmosphere?
F-=mg
What does g stand for in the graviational force equation?
9.8 m/s^2
What is the units for gravitoanl force?
N or 1kg-m/s^2
How do you go from kPa to bar?
100kPa= 1bar
How does height realte to atmospheric pressure?
the height will increase or decrease as atomspheric pressure increases or decreases
What is standard atmospheric pressure?
corresponds to the typical pressure at sea level 760 torr
What does gas volume do as pressure decreases?
increases
As altitude increases what does atmospheric pressure do?
decreases
What is boyle’s law?
the volume of a fixed quantiy of gas maintined at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure
What is boyles law equation?
PV=constant
