Chapter 10 Gases Flashcards
gas
substance that has no well defined boundaries but diffuses rapidly to fill any container in which it is placed
kelvin
0 c + 273
1 L (in cm3)
1000 cm^3
standard temperature
273K
Boyle’s law
at a constant temp. the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure
Equation for Boyle’s law
PV= k
Charles law
at constant pressure the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature (K)
Equation for Charles’s law
V/T = k
Combination of Boyle’s + Charles equation (combined gas law)
p1v1/T1 = p2v2/T2
Gay - Lussac’s Law of combining volumes
in a reaction bet. gases the volume of the reacting gases and the volumes of any gaseous products are in the ratio of small whole numbers provided the volumes are measured at the same temp + psi
Avogadro’s constant
states that equal volumes of gases contain equal no. of molecules under the same condition of temp. + psi
s.t.p of a mole of gas
22.4
ideal gas
one that perfectly obeys all the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases under any conditions (temp/psi)
Real gases
differ from the ideal gases because forces of attraction + repulsion do exist bet. the molecules ans the volume of the molecules is not negligible
Kinetic theory of gases (assumptions)
gases are made up of particles that are continuous rapid motion , no attractive or repulsive forces, gas molecules , the gas molecules are so small and so widely spread that the actual volume of all the molecules is negligible in comparison with the space they occupy, when molecules collide the collisions are perfectly elastic.
