2 Gas Laws Flashcards
How is P1 and T1 related to P2 and T2?
P1 is pressure before
T1 is temperature before
P2 is pressure after
T2 is temperature after

Explain why a hot balloon expands
As temperature rises, the particles have more energy
Particles have more KE
Particles move faster
More collisions per unit time AND particles collide with more force
Pressure = force / area
Increased pressure on the inside of the balloon, with same pressure on the outside results in greater forces on inside compared to outside of balloon - balloon skin stretches outward

What are the control variables for the Boyles’ Law investigation where the volume of a gas was measured as the pressure was varied?

Moles or mass of gas
Temperature of gas
Use the equation below to calculate the new volume of a gas as its pressure increased from 100kPa to 200kPa.
Its initial volume was 50cm3.

P2V2 = P1 V1
V2 = P1V1/P2
V2 = 100kPa x 50cm3 / 200kPa
V2 = 25cm3
Convert 373K to ºC
ºC = K - 273
373K = 100ºC

How does a gas exert pressure of the inside of a balloon?
- Gas particles are moving fast and freely
- They collide with the walls of the balloon
- They exert a force of the wall of the balloon
- Pressure = force / area
- Particles exerting a force on the area of the balloon creates a pressure.
Convert 100K to ºC
ºC = K - 273
100K = -173ºC

Name the independent and dependent variable for the Joly’s bulb experiment

Independent : temperature gas
Dependent : pressure of gas

What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume is halved?
Explain why this happens.
As volume is halved, pressure is doubled
There are the same number of particles as the volume is halved
OR double the number of particles per unit volume
Pressure = force / area
Double the number of collision per unit time per unit area.

Name the independent and dependent variable for Boyle’s law experiment

Independent : pressure
Dependent : volume of gas

What happens to the particles of a gas when they are heated?
The particles gain energy
KE of particles increases
Particles move faster

Convert 100ºC to Kelvin
K = ºC + 273
100ºC = 373 K

How would you represent the motion of a smoke particles in air? (Brownian motion)
Uses arrows of different length and directions to show continual random movement.

What is the unit for volume of a gas?
cm3 or dm3
How many Pa is a kPa?
1000 Pa = 1 kPa
From the graph, how is pressure of a gas related to its volume at the same temperature and moles of gas?

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume at same temperature and moles of gas
Convert -273ºC to Kelvin
K = ºC + 273
-273ºC = 0 K

A pupils stated that as the temperature of a gas in degrees celsius is doubles, the kinetic energy of the gas must also double.
Is this statement true or false?

False
At t_emperature of a gas in kelvin doubled,_ the average kinetic energy of the particles doubles
Temperature must be in kelvins!!
How is P1 and V1 related to P2 and V2?
P1 is pressure before
V1 is volume before
P2 is pressure after
V2 is volume is after

Use the pressure-temperature equation to work out the new temperature for a gas where the pressure was decreased from 100kPa to 50kPa
Intial temperature was 40K.

T2/P2 = T1/P1
(write the equation with T2 first- this makes it easier to rearrange!!)
T2= T1P2/P1
T2= 40K x 50kPa / 100kPa
T2 = 20K
How can Brownian motion be observed?
Random jerky movement of smoke particles in a smoke cell through a microscope

What is the unit for pressure
Pascal (Pa)
kilopascal (kPa)
atmospheres (atm)
A pupils stated that as the temperature of a gas in kelvin is doubled, the average speed of the gas must also double.
Is this statement true or false?

False
At t_emperature of a gas in kelvin doubles,_ the average kinetic energy of the particles doubles, NOT the average speed
Why does an air balloon grow bigger when air is heated

As temperature of a gas increases, kinetic energy increases
particles move with greater speed and hit the sides of the balloon more frequently AND with more force
Pressure = force / area
Greater force on walls of balloon increases the pressure of the gas pushing the walls of the balloon outward.

From the graph, how is pressure related to temperature in kelvin of a gas - at the same volume and mole of gas?

Pressure is proportional to temperature in kelvin at the same volume and moles of gas
What is Brownian motion?

It is the continuous and random zig zag movement of microscopic particles in a fluid, as a result of continuous bombardment from molecules of the surrounding medium.
(pollen in water)
Use the equation below to calculate the original pressure of a gas as its volume increased from 50cm3 to 100cm3
Its final pressure was 40kPa.

P<span>1</span>V<span>1</span> = P2 V2
P1 = P2V2/V1
P1 = 40kPa x 100cm3 / 50cm3
P1 = 80kPa
Use the equation below to calculate the new pressure of a gas as its volume decreased from 100cm3 to 50cm3.
Its initial pressure was 1atm.

P2V2 = P1 V1
P2 = P1V1/V2
P2 = 1atm x 100cm3 / 50cm3
P2 = 2atm
How is pressure of a gas related to its volume?
What would a graph of pressure against volume look like?
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume
As pressure doubles, volume halves
(For same moles of gas and temperature)

State Boyle’s Law
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume- at a constant temperature.
If pressure of a gas is doubled, its volume would halve

A pupils stated that as the temperature of a gas in kelvin is doubles, the average speed of the gas must also double.
Is this statement true or false?

False
At t_emperature of a gas in kelvin doubles,_ the average kinetic energy of the particles doubles, NOT the average speed
How is temperture related to the average KE of particles
Temperature is proportional to the average KE of the particles
NOTE: Temperature is not proportional to the average velocity of the particles!!

What happens to the pressure inside a tyre in the summer?
- As temperature increases, energy of gas particles increases
- In_crease in KE_ of particles means particles move more quickly
- Particles collide with the wall more frequently AND with more force
- Pressure = Force / area
- More force on the same area results in more pressure.
What are the control variables for the investigation where pressure of a gas was measured as temperature was varied?

Moles/mass of gas
Volume of gas
Use the pressure-temperature equation to work out the initial pressure for a gas where the temperature was increased from 100K to 200K
Final pressure was 5 atm.

P1/T1 = P2/T2
(write the equation with P1 first- this makes it easier to rearrange!!)
P1= P2T1/T2
P1= 5atm x 100K / 200K
P1 = 2.5atm
How does the pressure of a gas relate to it temperature in kelvin?
What would a graph of pressure against temperature look like?
Pressure is proportional to temperature in kelvin
(For same moles of gas and volume)
Straight time through the origin

How many cm3 in a dm3?
1 dm3 = 1000 cm3
What happens to the pressure inside a tyre in the winter?
- As temperature decreases, energy of gas particles decreases
- Decrease in KE of particles means particles move more slowly
- Particles collide with the wall less frequently AND with less force
- Pressure = Force / area
- Less force on the same area results in less pressure.
How is pressure related to temperature in degrees celsius?
Pressure is linearly related to temperature in degrees celsius.
(For same moles of gas and volume)
It is a straight line but does not go through the origin.

Convert 0ºC to Kelvin
K = ºC + 273
0ºC = 273 K

Convert 0K to ºC
ºC = K - 273
0K = -273ºC

Use the pressure-temperature equation to work out the initial temperature for a gas where the pressure was decreased from 100Pa to 50Pa
final temperature 15K.

T1/P1 = T2/P2
(write the equation with Ti first- this makes it easier to rearrange!!)
T1= T2P1/P2
T1= 15K x 100Pa /50Pa
T1 = 30K
Use the pressure-temperature equation to work out the new pressure for a gas where the temperature was increased from 100K to 200K
Intial pressure was 3 atm.

P2/T2 = P1/T1
(write the equation with P2 first- this makes it easier to rearrange!!)
P2= P1T2/T1
P2= 3 atm x 200K / 100K
P2 = 6atm
