states that the total pressure is the sum
of the partial pressures of all gas components
Dalton’s Law
Mark has unknowingly driven over a very large nail
when exiting his work parking lot. He has a long
commute home, and by the time he arrives he will
have a flat tire. The air that is slowly escaping from
the hole in his tire is an example of
Effusion
To solve gas law calculations, which unit in
temperature must be measured in
Kelvin
The ideal gas equation describes the relationship
among the four variables P, V, T, and n.
• Pressure (P) in atm
• Volume (V) in L
• Temperature (T) in K
• Moles (n) in mol
correct form of the equation for the ideal gas law
PV = nRT
SI unit for Pressure
Kilopascal
can be observed without
changing the composition of the substance
Physical property
It is depends upon the amount of substance
Extensive properties
describes the ability of a
substance to change the chemical composition, thus
forms a new substance
Chemical property
are composed of several components
which are easy to separate
Mixtures
are pure substances that are made up of
only one kind of atoms
Element’s
are pure substances made up of two
or more kind of atoms
Compounds
the property of a substance to interact
with another substance and form one or more new
substances
Reactivity
the chemical formula for sodium chloride
NaCl
the chemical formula for methane
CH4
describes the use of chemicals
in solving crime scene
Forensic chemistry
It is done by using an instrument with a
meshed or perforated bottom by shaking the
instrument to separate coarse materials from fine ones.
Sieving
atoms of an element having the same
atomic number but different mass numbers
Isotopes
The ball-and-stick model used to represent
compounds because
it shows three-dimensional
arrangement of atoms and bonds.
provides an idea of how the
atoms in the molecule or the compound are arranged
along with their bond formations
Structural Formula
Magnesium Chloride
MgCl2
Tritium
3/1 H
correct formula for calcium carbonate
CaCO3
refers to the maximum amount of
product that would result if the limiting reagent were
completely consumed
