chapter 11 ssection 1 notes Flashcards
pressure increase is cause by the increase in the number of
collisions of molecules
the pressure exerted by a gas depends on
volume, temperature, and the number of molecules present
force per unit area on a surface
pressure
the si unit for force is
newton
the force that will increase the speed of a one kilogram mass by one meter per second each second that the force is applied
netwon
the air is _____ at higher altitudes
lower
device used to measure atomspheric pressure
barometer
torr is named after
evangelista Torricelli for the creation of the barometer
what is the SI unit for pressure
pascal
the pressure of each gas in a mixture is called the
partial pressure of that gas
states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressure of the component gases
dalton’s law of partial pressures
