Amounts Of Gases Flashcards
What are the gas laws
They describe the behaviour of gases and are summarised by the ideal gas equation
What are ideal gases
Gases which obey the ideal gas equation, in practice real gases deviate to at least some extent from this
Three factors that the volume of a gas depends on
-temperature
-pressure
-amount of gas in moles
Ideal gas equation
pV=nRT
What is pressure and it’s units in ideal gas equation
Defined as force per unit area
-unit is pascal(Pa)
-1atm=101,000Pa
What is volume and its unit in the ideal gas equation
The amount of space taken up by a sample
-unit is m3
How many cm3 in 1dm3
1000cm3 in 1dm3
How to convert between cm3 and m3
-from cm3 to m3 divide by 1,000,000
-from m3 to cm3 multiply by 1,000,000
SI unit for temperature and how to convert between degrees Celsius and this
-kelvin(K)
-add 273 to degrees Celsius to get to kelvin
Value for gas constant and it’s units
8.31Jmol-1K-1
How much volume does 1 mole of any gas occupy at room temperature and pressure
24dm3
What is the molar volume of a gas
Volume of 1 mole of the gas under stated conditions
Unit for volume in ideal gas equation
m3
How to convert between atmospheric pressures and pascals
Multiply by 101,000
