Chapter 13/14 Flashcards
Kinetic molecular theory
- The particles in a gas are considered to be small spheres with insignificant volume
- empty space between gas particles
- no attractive/repulsive forces between particles - Motion of particles in a gas is rapid, constant, and random
- All collisions between gas particles are perfectly elastic
- kinetic energy is transferred between particles
Kinetic theory
All matter consists of tiny particles that are in constant motion
gas pressure
- from the force exerted by a gas per unit surface area of an object
- result of simultaneous collisions of billions of rapidly moving particles
atmopsheric pressure
- results from the collisions of atoms and molecules in air
- increased elevation=decreased atmospheric pressure
kinetic energy and temperature
- as a substance is heated, the particles absorb energy
- some energy is stored as potential energy, which does not affect temperature
- some energy speeds up the particles, which causes a temperature increase
kinetic theory for liquids
-particles have kinetic energy, but the particles in a liquid are attracted to one another - gives liquids a definite volume
evaporation
- change from a liquid to a gas
- particles must have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces between the particles
- evap. occurs faster at warmer temperatures
vapor pressure
-a measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid
-over time, the number of particles evaporating into the gas phase will reach a point where particles start to condense back into the liquid phase
rate of evaporation=rate of condensation
—–dynamic equilibrium established
allotropes
two or more different molecular forms of the same element in the same physical state
ex: carbon - diamond, graphite, fulleren
amorphous solids
not all solids are crystalline, some lack an ordered internal structure (randomny arranged particles, irregular fracture patterns)
depostion
gas to solid
sublimation
solid to gas
volume
- volume and pressure have an indirect relationship
- pressure increases when volume decreases bc there is less space for the particles to move, so there are more collisions
temperature
- temperature and pressure have a direct relationship
- pressure increases when temperature increases - as temp increases, so does kinetic energy- move quicker and collide more often
boyles law
PRESSURE AND VOLUME
-the pressure of a gas depends on how often the particles strike the walls of the container
-temp is constant
