(26 cards)
What are the properties that are easily measured for gasses
- Volume (m^3)
-Temperature ( K or °C)
-Pressure (Nm^-2 or Pa or bars (10^5 Pa))
What are the three Gas Laws
Boyles Law: pV = constant
Charles Law
Constant Volume Law
What is Boyles Law?
For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the product of absolute pressure and volume is a constant:
pV = constant.
Used if:
- Pressure and gas changes and temperature stays the same
What is it called when temperature is kept constant?
Isothermal
Draw a p - V diagram
Its like an exponential graph with P on the Y axis and V on the x axis
What is Charle’s Law
For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume divided by absolute temperature is a constant:
V/T = constant
Explain Charle’s Law
For a mixed mass of gas at constant pressure. The volume/absolute temperature is a constant. Therefore: V/T = Constant
If temperature and volume changes and pressure is still kept constant. Then: V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
What is isobaric change?
A change where the pressure is kept constant
What is the V-T graph when p is constant (Volume - Time graph)
V is on the y-axis and T is on the X axis. The graph is a linear graph
What is the Constant Volume Law
For a fixed mass of gas at constant volume, theabsolute pressure divided by absolute temperature is a constant
P/T = Constant
Explain Constant Volume Law
If pressure and temperature change while the volume remains constant then:
P1/T1 = P2/T2
What would a pressure over time graph look like when volume is constant
Pressure on the y-axis and temperature is on the x-axis. It is a linear graph
Important notes to know about the gas laws
For Charles’ (isobaric) and the Constant Volume (pT) laws, the temperature must be absolute.
* For Boyle’s (isothermal) and the ConstantVolume (pT) laws, the pressure must be absolute.
What is the equation of state of gas?
pV = nRT
p = Presure (Pa)
V = Volume (m^3)
n = Moles (mol)
R = Molar gas constant (JK^-1 mol^-1)
T = Temperature (K)
What is the universal molar gas constant?
8.31 JK^-1 mol^-1
At which point do gases not obey the gas laws entirely?
Well above their liquefaction point.
What is the ideal gas?
A gas that obeys all gas laws exactly under all the conditions
How many molecules is in 1 mole?
6.022 x 10^23, which is the number of molecules in 12 g of Carbon-12
How to calculate number of moles?
n = m/M
Number of moles = mass / mass number
OR
n = N/Na
Number of moles = Number of gas molecules / Avogadro number
What is molar mass?
The mass of 1 mole of that substance
What is the standard temperature and pressure?
- Temperature of 0°C
-Pressure of 101.3 kPa
What is the normal temperature and pressure?
- Temperature at 20°C
-Pressure is 101.3 kPa
What are all the different forms of pV = nRT?
- pV = m/M x RT
Pressure x Volume = mass/Molar mass x Molar gas constant x temperature
-pV = N/Na RT
Pressure x Volume = Number of molecules/Avagrados constant x Gas constant x Temperature
- p = p/M RT
Pressure = density/Molar mass x Gas constant x Temperature
How to find specific gas constants?
Rgas = R/M
Rgas = Specific gas constant (JKg^-1K^-1)
R = Gas constant
M = Molar mass
