Q

Why does temperature directly affect the kinetic energy of a gas?

A

Because as the temp increase, the particles move more quickly. As the temp decreases, the particles slow down.

Q

What is Boyle’s law and what does it describe

A

Describes the relationship between pressure and volume
P1V1 = P2V2
(the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas)

16
Q

What does Boyle’s law mean?

A

As the pressure on a gas increases, the volume on the gas decreases.
As the pressure on a gas decreases, the volume of the gas increases

17
Q

Boyles law is only true when …..

A

the number of molecules and the temperature stays the same

18
Q

What is Charles’ law and what does it describe

A

Volume and temperature are directly proportional to each other
V1/T1 = V2/T2
(the volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (temp in Kelvin) of the gas)

19
Q

What does Charles’ law mean?

A

It means that when the absolute temp (temp in Kelvin) of a gas increases, the volume of the gas increase.
When the temp of a gas decreases, the volume of the gas decreases

20
Q

How do you convert from Celcius to kelvin?

A

C+273=K

21
Q

What is Gay Lussac’s law and what does it describe?

A

pressure and temperature are directly proportional to each other
P1/T1=P2/T2
the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (temp in Kelvin) of the gas

22
Q

What does Gay Lussac’s law mean?

A

As the temperature in Kelvin on a gas increases, the pressure of the gas increases
As the temperature on a gas decrease, the pressure on the gas decreases

23
Q

What is the combined gas law?

A

A combination of Boyle’s law, Charles’ law, and Gay Lussacs Law
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

24
Q

What is Avogadro’s law and what does it describe?

A

the volume of gases at the same temp and pressure has the same number of moles
v1/n1=v2/n2
at constant temp and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas

25
Q

What does Avogadro’s law mean?

A

As the amount of gas increases, the volume of the gas increases.
As the amount of gas decreases, the volume of the gas decreases

26
Q

What is the ideal gas law and what does it describe?

A

Describes the relationship among pressure, volume, temperature, and the amount n of gas
PV=nRT

27
Q

What do all the different values mean in the ideal gas law? (PV = nRT)

A
P = Pressure
V=volume
n=amount of gas in moles
R=gas constant or 0.0821 L*atm/mol*k 
T=temperature in kelvin
28
Q

How do you re-arrange the ideal gas law to include density?

A

d=m/v=PM/RT

29
Q

What is Dalton’s law of partial pressure and what does it mean?

A

P total = Pa + Pb + Pc + Pd…..

The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures of each individual gas
