Chapter 12/14 Flashcards
excess reagent
a reagent present in a quantity that is more than sufficient to react with a limiting reagent; any reactant that remains after the limiting reagent is used up in a chemical reaction
limiting reagent
any reactant that is used up first in a chemical reaction; it determines the amount of product that can be formed in the reaction
ideal gas law
the relationship PV = nRT, which describes the behavior of an ideal gas
Boyles’s law
for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure
Charles’s law
the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant
Gay Lussac’s law
the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature if the volume is constant
