Gas Laws Flashcards
(36 cards)
Gases consist of atoms:
He Ne Ar Kr Xe Rn
Or gases consist of diatomic molecules:
H2 N2 O2 F2 Cl2
Or gases consist of polyatomic molecules
CH4
SO3
Etc
Vapors are
Substances in a gaseous state that are normally solid or liquid
Four characteristics of gases
Pressure(P)
Volume(V)
Temperature(T)
Particles(k)
Pressure
Force applied by the gas (atm, kPa, mmHg)
Atmospheric pressure
Force applied by the “weight” of the atmosphere on us
Standard pressure
1atm=101.3 kPa=760 mmHg
Dalton’s law
A mixture of gases has a pressure equal to the sum of the partial pressures
Ptotal = p1+ p2 + …
Volume
Amount of space occupied by the gas
Temperature
Average kinetic energy of gas
Standard temperature
0•c = 273 K
Bottles law
P1v1= p2v2
Charles law
V1/t1 = v2/ t2
Gay Lusaks law
P1/t1 = p2/t2
Combined gas law
P1v1/t1 = p2v2/t2
Avogadros hypothesis
Equal volumes of gases contain the same number of particles (at the same t and p)
Ideal gas law
P1v1/n1t1 = p2v2/n2t2
Or
pv = nRT
Density =
Molar mass/ volume
Why does d=m/v
Scince 1 mile of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at stp and one mile of a gas has a mass equal to its molar mass, the density of gas can be calculated by mm/22.4
If you multiple mm on both sides of the equation density equals
P•mm/RT
Gases in a mixture will
Behave independently of each other
P1 = n1 (RT/V) P2= n2 (RT/V)
A mixture of gases would occupy the same container… Meaning
The same t and v for each gas
Ptotal= (n1+n2+n3)(RT/V)
=
ntotal (RT/V)
Amount of gas in a mixture is related to
It partial pressure
P1/Pt = n1/nt
