Chapter 8 - The Gas Phase Flashcards
(13 cards)
Ideal Gas Law
Describes the relationship between the 4 variables of the gas state for an ideal gas
Avogadro’s Principle
Pressure and temperature are held constant
- Direct relationship between the # of moles of gas and volume
Boyle’s Law
Temperature and # of moles are held constant
- inverse relationship between pressure and volume
Charles’s Law
Pressure and # of moles are held constant
- Direct relationship between temperature and volume
Gay-Lussac’s Law
Volume and # of moles are held constant
- Direct relationship between temperature and pressure
Combined Gas Law
Combination of Boyle’s, Charles’s, and Gay-Lussac’s laws
- Inverse relationship between pressure and volume along with direct relationships between pressure and volume with temperature
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
States that individual gas components of a mixture of gases will exert individual pressures in proportion to their mole fractions
Henry’s Law
States that the amount of gas dissolved in solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas at the surface of a solution
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Attempts to explain the behavior of gas particles
Graham’s Law
Describes the behavior of gas diffusion or effusion, stating that gases with lower molar masses will diffuse or effuse faster than gases with higher molar masses at the same temperature
Diffusion
Spreading out of particles from high to low concentration
Effusion
Movement of gas from one compartment to another through a small opening under pressure
Real Gases
Deviate from ideal behavior under high pressure (low volume) and low temperature conditions
