13.1 and 14 Flashcards
2 extra points about kinetic theory of gases
random walk
no repulsive or attractive forces
3 assumptions in kinetic theory of gases
the particles in a gas are considered to be small, hard spheres with an insignificant volume
the motion of the particles in a gas is rapid, constant, and random
all collisions between particles in a gas are perfectly elastic
3 units of pressure
pascal
atm - standard atmosphere
millimeters of Hg - mm Hg
which unit of pressure is SI
kPa
what causes pressure
simultaneous collisions of billions of rapidly moving particles in a gas with an object
What is STP
standard temperature and pressure
0 degrees C
101.3 kPa
1 atm
What is the volume of 1 mole of gas at STP
22.4 L
what is the relationship between temperature and average kinetic energy
directly proportional
what does it mean when two variables are directly proportional
increase or decrease together
what does it mean when two variables are inversely proportional
1 increases while the other decreases
why does pressure increase when you increase the number of moles
adding moles increases the number of collisions which results in pressure
why does pressure increase when you increase the temperature
the kinetic energy increases and faster-moving particles strike the walls of their container with more energy
why does air rush out of an object at high pressure and into an object at low pressure
differential pressure
the air is trying to reach atmospheric pressure
what is the combined gas law
P1V1 P2V2
—– = ——
T1 T2
what variable can be calculated from the ideal gas law that cannot be calculated by the combined gas law
number of moles
