Chapter 10: Gases Flashcards
substances that a liquids or solids under ordinary conditions can also exist in the gaseous state, often referred to as _______
vapors
gases differ from liquids and solids by? (4)
- expands to fits its containers
- highly compressible
- homogeneous mixtures
- individual molecules are relatively far apart
conveys the idea of a force, a push that tends to move something
pressure
P = F/A
pressure equation
gravity works w/ gases to creates ________ _______
atmospheric pressure
you can calculate the magnitude of atmospheric pressure F exerted by any object is the product of its mass x acceleration
F = ma
the SI unit for kg-m/s^2 is a ________
Newton
SI unit of pressure is 1. _______ given the name 2. _______
- N/m^2
2. pascal (Pa)
a related unit to the Pascal is the _____ which one equals to 105 Pa
bar
atmospheric pressure @ sea level is ______ Pa or 1 bar
105
who created the barometer?
Evangelista Torricelli
dish experiences the full force of the Earth’s atmosphere and the column of Hg tries to match it as to why it increases —> barometer increased, height of Hg column, amount of atmo pressing down on surface decreases
Torricelli’s argument about pressure
corresponds to the typical pressure @ sea level
standard atmospheric pressure
1.01325 x 10^5 Pa =
standard atmospheric pressure
standard atmospheric pressure defines common non-SI units used to express gas such as 1. _________ and 2. _______
- atmosphere (atm)
2. millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or torr
operates like a barometer; sometimes used to measure gas pressures near atmospheric pressure; P (gas) = P (atm) + P (height)
manometer
120 in 120/80 in blood pressure
systolic pressure
80 in 120/80
diastolic pressure
reading gauge
systolic pressure
pressure reduced until blood flows freely
diastolic pressure
presence of abnormally high blood pressure greater than 140/90
hypertension
what are the 4 variables for the physical conditions of gas?
- pressure
- volume
- moles of gas (amount of gas)
- temperature
the laws expressed the effect of 1. ____ variable on 2. ______ w/ the remaining two variables held at 3. ________
- one
- volume
- constant
