GAS LAWs Flashcards

Gases definition
Gases are compressible and expand to fill the available volume.
There are 3 variables in the Gas Law equations:
Pressure
Temperature
Volume
When one of these values is _______, the 3 gas laws
constant; predict the relationship between the other two.
Name 4 Laws
Boyle’s Law
Charles Law
Avogadro’s Law
Gay Lussac’s Law
Boyle’s Law (VP)
V1 * P1 = V2* P2
Charles’s Law
V1/ T1 = V2/T2
Avogadro’s Law
V1/n1 = V2/n2
Gay-Lussac’s Law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
Combined Gas law
P1 x V1/T1 = P2x V2 / T2
The ideal gas law is most accurate for monatomic gases favored at
high temperatures and low pressures
A value for R is determined under a set of standard conditions called _____
standard temperature and pressure”, or
STP.
Standard temperature is defined as ___C or ____K
0c or 273K.
Standard pressure use to be 1 atm. Using atm/L/mol/K the value is calculated as 0.0821.
However, Standard pressure was changed recently to match SI Units and is now defined as_______
atm/L/mol/K ; 0.0821.
and is now defined as 100 kP
kPa/L/mol/K the value is calculated as
8.31.
The numeric value for R depends on which units are
being used to represent pressure in STP.
If atm, R =
If kPa, R =
- 0821 (old way)
8. 31 (new way)
At STP (_____ kPa, _____K) 1 mole of any gas takes up _____L.
(101.3 kPa, 273K) 1 mole of any gas takes up 22.7 L.
R is expressed in
L/mol/K
Defined Boyle’s Law
The Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to Pressure, if temperature and moles are constant
Boyle’s Law
Increasing pressure, volume ________. This is an ______relationship
We can see that by increasing the pressure on a gas, its volume decreases. This is an inverse, relationship. As one
variable goes up, the other goes down, and vice versa.
Applications of Gas Law
Ambubag being squeezed (increased pressure = decreased volume)
Pushing syringe against resistance (increased pressure = decreased volume)
Inspiration (negative pressure leads to increased volume)
Oxygen cylinder (gas being forced from a larger to smaller container results in
increased pressure in the cylinder
Define Charle’s Law
The Volume of a gas is directly proportional to Temperature (Kelvin), if pressure and moles are constant
For Charle’s Law, By increasing the temperature
he gas expands increasing
the volume. This is a direct relationship.
