23
Q

What is the concept of Avogadro’s Law?

Study These Flashcards
A

Equal volumes of gas contain the same number of particles at the same temperature and pressure

24
Q

To have an ideal gas, what must the motion of the particles be?

25
To have an ideal gas, what interactions must the gas particles have?
no interactions except collisions that are elastic
26
To be an ideal gas, is the identity of the gas relevant or irrelevant?
irrelevant
27
To be an ideal gas, what has the be the volume of the gas instead of the gas itself?
the volume of the container it occupies
28
What is the Ideal Gas Law?
P=nRT
29
In the Ideal Gas Law, what does P equal?
pressure
30
In the Ideal Gas Law, what does n equal?
moles
31
In the Ideal Gas Law, what does R equal?
Gas constant
32
In the Idea Gas Law, what does T equal?
temperature
33
What is Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures?
For a mixture of gases in a container, the total pressure | equals the sum of the pressures each gas if it were alone. (p1 + p2 + p3... =p total meaning 2 atm + 7 atm = 9 atm)
34
What is a mole fraction?
the ratio of the number of moles of a | a component in a mixture to the total number of moles in the mixture
35
What's the formula for mole ratio?
X1 = n1 / 𝑛𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 | = 𝑛1 /𝑛1+𝑛2+𝑛3+...
36
What does the Kinetic Molecular Theory state about volume?
Gas particles are so small compared to the distances between them that the volume of the individual particle can be assumed to be negligible or zero
37
What does the Kinetic Molecular Theory state about motion of gas particles?
Gas particles are in constant motion
38
What does the Kinetic Molecular Theory state about gas exerting forces on each other?
Gas particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other
39
What does the Kinetic Molecular Theory state about the relationship between kinetic energy and the temperature of the gas?
they are directionally proportional
40
What does diffusion describe?
process of particles moving from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration
41
What does effusion describe?
small size enables them to move through small openings as well
42
What does there need to be for effusion to happen?
opening of the hole must be smaller than the mean free path because otherwise, the gas could move back and forth through the hole
43
What does Graham's law of effusion state?
The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely related to the square root of the molecular weight of a gas
44
What does Van der Waal's equation contain?
corrected pressure and volume
45
In reality, REAL gases behave more ideal in ___ temperature and ___ pressures
In reality, gases behave more ideal in high temperatures and low pressures
46
What is the urms equation for?
the measure of the speed of particles in a gas
47
What is Graham's Law of effusion?
R1/R2 = square root of m2 over square root of m1
