list the six properties of gases
diffusion effusion permeability fluidity compressibility expansibility
the spontaneous, uniform spreading and mixing of particles caused by particle motion
diffusion
when particles pass through a tiny opening into an evacuated chamber or space
effusion
states that the rate of effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass
Graham’s Law of Effusion
the ability of a gas to mingle with or pass through another porous substance
permeability
have the ability to flow and take the shape of their container
fluids
is when high pressure can squeeze gases into smaller volumes
compressibility
when gases experience lower pressure, they quickly expand to fill the available space
expansibility
is the average force exerted per unit of area when molecules collide against a boundary
pressure
atmospheric pressure at sea level is __ pounds per square inch (psi)
14.7

pascal
__ atm equals __ torr
