Gas Laws #1 Flashcards
(22 cards)
kinetic molecular theory
a model to explain and predict the behaviour of gases
kmf #1
gases are made up of small particles seperated by large spaces, most of the volume occupied by a gas is empty space
kmf #2
gas particles are constantly movng in straight lines but random direction
kmf #3
gas particles undergo elastic collision with eachother and the walls of the container, no loss of kinetic energy
kmf #4
gas particles exert no force of attraction on other gasses
what is pressure
force per unit area
force
is the result of one object hititng another object
how does a balloon stay inflated
pressure inside the balloon is equal to the pressure outside the balloon so the forces cancel out and the volume stays the same
what is gas pressure
the force caused by the constant collisions between the gas molecules and the surface they come into contact with
factors that affect gas pressure
- # of gas particles: the greater the number of particles, the more collisions and higher pressure
- temperature: inc in temperature causes molecule to move faster so more collisions with greater force resulting in inc pressure
2 factors of boyles law
pressure and volume of gas
boyles law
at a constant temp, the volume and pressure of a fixed mass of gas are INVERSELY proportional
2 factors of charles law
volume and temperature
charles law
at a constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass is DIRECTLY proportional to its temp (in kelvin)
- as temp of gas inc, volume of gas inc proportionally
2 factors of gay lussacs law
pressure and temperature
gay lussacs law
at a constant volume, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature
combined gas law
the volume of a fixed amt of gas changed when both kelvin temp and pressure change at the same time
partial pressure
pressure of gas in a gas mixture that it would exert if it were the only gas present in the same volume and same temp
daltons law of partial pressure
the total pressure of a mixture of non reacting gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of the individual gases
gay lussac formula
p1/p2 = t1/t2
boyles formula
p1v1 = p2v2
charles formula
t1/t2 = v1/v2
