Chapter 10- Gases Flashcards
A process by which gas particles pass through a tiny opening
Effusion
Spontaneous Mixing of the particles of two substances caused by the random motion
Diffusion
A collision between gas particle and between gas particles and container walls in which there is no net loss of kinetic energy
elastic collision
A substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container; a liquid or a gas
Fluids
An imaginary gas that perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory
Ideal gas
A theory based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion
Kinetic molecular theory
A gas that does not behave completely according to the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory
Real gas
Exactly equivalent to 760 mmHg
Atmosphere of pressure
A device used to measure atmospheric pressure
Barometer
A common unit of measure
mmHg
The SI unit for force
Newton
The pressure exerted by a force of one newton
acting on an area of 1 m²
Pascal
The force per unit area on a surface
Pressure
The agreed-upon standard conditions of exactly 1 atm of pressure and 0°C
Standard temperature and pressure
A pressure of 1 mmHg
Torr
