6. Gases, Liquids, and Solids Flashcards
Attractive forces that hold matter together…
-counteracts kinetic energy
-in the absence of attractive forces, the kinetic energy keeps the particles constantly moving randomly
Kinetic energy increases…
with increasing temperature
Gaseous state
-at high temperature:
molecules possess high kinetic energy; moves fast, attractive forces weak
Liquid state
-at lower temperature:
molecules move more slowly, attractive forces is stronger than gaseous state
Solid state
-at even lower temperature:
molecules no longer have velocity to move past each other
-strong attractive forces
Pressure
-force per unit area exerted against a surface
Barometer
-measure atmospheric pressure
-long glass tube that is completely filled with mercury then inverted into a pool of mercury in a dish
-measure of Mercury rise in tube= cmHg/inHg/mmHg (measure of pressure)
Evangelista Torricelli
-torr
-invented barometer
Manometer
-measure the pressure of gas in a container
-uses mercury as working fluid due to its very high density (height of liquid volume inversely proportional to liguid density); para small barometers and manometers lng
- Open-tube manometer: suited for measuring pressures equal or greater than atmospheric pressure
Pgas = Pheight + Patm - Closed-tube manometer: measuring pressure below atmospheric (vacuum)
Pgas = Ph
Boyle’s law
Robert Boyle
-for a fixed mass of gas at T=k,
⬆️ V ⬇️ P
Charles’s law
Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles
-for a fixed mass of gas at P=k,
⬆️ V ⬇️ T
Gay-Lussac’s law
Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
-for a fixed mass of gas at V=k,
⬆️P ⬇️T
Avogadro’s law
-equal volumes of gases at same temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules, regardless of their identity
Standard temperature and pressure (STP)
-1 bar, 0°C
-all gases at STP or any other combination of T and P contain the same number of molecules at any given volume
Ideal gas
-a gas whose physical properties are described accurately by the ideal gas law
Ideal gas condition
-Real gases behave most like ideal gases at LOW PRESSURE (1 atm or less) and HIGH TEMPERATURE (300K or higher)
Partial pressure
-the pressure that a gas in a mixture of gases would exert if it were alone in the container
Dalton’s law of partial pressure
-total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas
PT = Pa + Pb +….
Pi = xi.PT
where xi: mole fraction of gas
Kinetic molecular theory
(Idealized picture of molecules of gases)
- Gases consist of particles, either atoms or molecules, constantly moving through space in straight lines, random direction, and various speeds
- The average kinetic energy of gss particles is proportional to temperature in kelvins
- Molecules collide with each other. Each time they collide, they may exchange kinetic energy but the total kinetic energy of the gas sample remains the same
- Gas particles have no volume
- There are no attractive forces between gas particles
- Molecules collide with the walls of the container, and these collisions constitute the pressure of a gas
Ideal gas
-at STP, most real gases behave in such a way that an ideal gas would
Condensation
-change of a substance from the vapor or gaseous state to the liquid state
Solidification/ Crystallization
Change from liquid to solid
London dispersion forces
-Fritz London
-extremely weak attractive forces between atoms or molecules caused by electrostatic attraction between temporary induced dipoles
-exist between all molecules
-only forces of attraction in nonpolar molecules
