Q

What does Avogadro’s Law state?

A

volume(V) of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (n) of the gas at constant T and P

23
Q

What was Avogadro’s hypothesis?

A

equal volumes of gases at the same temperature contain equal numbers of molecules

24
Q

What is an ideal gas?

A

hypothetical gas whose pressure, volume, and temperature relationships are described completely by the ideal-gas equation

25
Q

What is the ideal gas law?

A

PV = nRT

26
Q

What is the gas constant and its value?

A

R = 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K

27
Q

What are 2 assumptions made when deriving the ideal-gas equation?

A

ideal gas molecules don’t interact with one another | combined volume of the molecules is smaller than the container volume

28
Q

What does STP stand for?

A

standard temperature and standard pressure

29
Q

What are the conditions for STP?

A

P = 1 atm | T = 273 K (0 degC)

30
Q

What is molar volume?

A

volume occupied by 1 mol of ideal gas at STP

31
Q

What is the value of the molar volume?

A

22.41

32
Q

What is Dalton’s law of partial pressures?

A

total pressure of a gas mixture = the sum of the pressures that each would exert alone

33
Q

What is partial pressure?

A

pressure exerted by a gas in a gas mixture

34
Q

What is mole fractions?

A

dimensionless number | expresses the ratio of the #moles of a gas in a gas mixture to the total #moles of the mixture

35
Q

What is the kinetic molecular theory of gases?

A

model that depicts what happens to gas particles when conditions (temp, pressure, or volume) change

36
Q

Who developed the kinetic molecular theory of gases?

A

Rudolf Clausius

37
Q

What are the 5 things that summarize the theory of moving molecules?

A

random motion | negligible molecular volume | negligible forces | constant average kinetic energy | average kinetic energy proportional to temp(T)

38
Q

What is random motion?

A

gases consist of large numbers of particles that are in continuous random motion

39
Q

What is negligible molecular volume?

A

combined volume of all gas particles is negligible relative to the container that holds these gases

40
Q

Why are forces negligible in the theory of moving molecules?

A

attractive and repulsive forces between particles are negligible

41
Q

What is constant average kinetic energy?

A

energy can be transferred between particles during collisions as long as temp(T) is constant

42
Q

What is the average kinetic energy proportional to temperature?

A

avg KE of the particles is proportional to the absolute temp = @given T = particles of all gases have the same avg KE

43
Q

What is most probable speed µ(mp)?

A

molecular speed measured by the largest total of particles

44
Q

What is root-mean-squared speed µ(rms)?

A

speed of a particle whose KE is equal to the avg. (mean) KE of all gas particles

45
Q

What is average (mean) speed µ(av)?

A

the average (mean) speed of all particles

46
Q

What are the 2 applications of the kinetic molecular theory to the Gas Laws?

A

Boyle’s Law (V and P are inverse) at constant T = constant KE = constant µ(rms) | Guy-Lussac’s Law (T and P are direct) at constant V = increase KE = increase µ(rms)

47
Q

What is effusion of gas particles?

A

escape of gas particles through a tiny hole

48
Q

What is diffusion of gas particles?

A

spread of gas A throughout gas B or space

49
Q

What is Graham’s Law of Effusion?

A

effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the sqrt of its molar masses

50
Q

Who developed Graham’s Law?

A

Thomas Graham

51
Q

What is mean free path?

A

average distance traveled by a molecule in between collisions

52
Q

What is a short mean free path?

A

high pressure = crowded space

53
Q

What is a long mean free path?

A

low pressure = empty space

54
Q

What does van der Waals equation state?

A
