Gases Flashcards
(38 cards)
Relationship of gas particles
space between particles is greater than the size of the particles themselves
What is the gas particles motion
translational kinetic energy (a straight line)
as the temperature increases
the gas gains more kinetic energy
property of their particle collision
elastic (no energy is lost)
what do we assume in a gas
they behave ideally, where the particles have no IMF with one-another, and the mass and size of the gas particles are negligible
compressibility
highly compressible
- a gas can fit into various sizes of containers
EMPERICIAL PROPERTIES
properties that are measurable using scientific instruments
THEORETICAL PROPERTIES
assumptions as to the behaviour of gas on a particles level based on its empirical properties
what are the empirical properties of gas
- VOLUME (V)
- PRESSURE (P)
- TEMPERATURE (T)
- AMOUNT (n)
VOLUME (V)
3D space that contains gas
- L or mL
IL = ? ml
1000
PRESSURE (P)
when gas particles collide with the walls of the container, the frequency of the collisions and the speed of the collisions produces a measurable force
- kPa, Pa
1 kPa = ? Pa
1000 Pa
BAROMETER
instrument used to measure presssure
? atm = ? kPa = ? mmHg = ? torr
1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 760 mmHg = 760 torr
TEMPERATURE (T)
measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance
- celsius or kelvin
ABSOLUTE ZERO
extrapolated theoretical lowest temperature possible for any substance. No molecular movement
0 K = -273.15 C
C = ? K
K: C + 273
C: K - 273
AMOUNT (n)
of particles present in the gas sample
- mol
GAY-LUSSAC’S LAW
temperature and pressure of a gas are directly proportional provided that volume and chemical amount are kept constant
BOYLE’S LAW
pressure of a gas varies indirectly with its volume at constant temperature and chemical amount
what will happen to the pressure if V dec.
pressure with inc. proportionately
what will happen to the pressure if V inc.
pressure with dec. proportionately
what will be shown on the graph for the pressure volume relationship
