kinetic molecular theory (kmt)
describes the behavior of matter in terms of particles in potion, it makes assumptions about the size, motion, and energy of gas particles
kmt - particle size and attractive forces
small particles, little to no attraction
kmt - particle motion
constant and random motion in a straight line
kinetic energy of a particle
1/2 mv^2
how does kmt explain gas expanding or contracting
when the volume of a container increases, particles fill that space
diffusion
the movement of one material through another
kmt diffusion
particles can easily flow because there is no attraction
effusion
diffusion through a tiny opening
what effuses faster
lighter gasses effuse faster
grahams law of effusion
rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass
pressure
when particles collide with the walls of their containers
used to measure atmospheric pressure
barometer
used to measure pressure of a gas
manometer
ideal gas
a gas where its particles take up no space
ideal gas properties
-no imf attraction forces
-not attracted to or repelled by the walls of the container
-constant random motion in straight lines
-perfectly elastic
-follows gas laws
when do real gasses act most like ideal gasses
at high temps and low pressures
what types of gas particles deviate most from ideal gas behavior
large gas particles
intramolecular forces
forces inside a molecule
intermolecular forces
forces between molecules
solid to liquid
melting, energy and distance up, imfs down
liquid to solid
freezing, energy and distance down, imfs up
liquid to gas
boiling / vaporation, energy and distance up, imfs down
gas to liquid
condensation, energy and distance down, imfs up
solid to gas
sublimation, energy and distance up, imfs down
