Chapter 12 Vocab Flashcards
The force per unit area exerted on an object
Pressure
At constant temperature the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related
Boyles Law
At constant pressure the temperature and volume of a gas are linearly proportional
Charles Law
The Kelvin temperature scale: It is not possible to reach to reach or go below 0 Kelvin
Absolute Temperature Scale
Following an established trend in the data even though there is no data available for that region
Extrapolation
A gas whose molecules (or atoms) are very small compared to the total volume of the gas, make elastic collisions with one another as well as the walls of the container, and have no attraction between one another
Ideal Gas
A temperature of 273 K and a pressure of 1.00 atm
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
When two or more ideal gases are mixed together, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressure of each individual gas
Daltons Law of Particle Pressure
The pressure exerted by a single gas in a mixture of gases
Particle Pressure
The pressure exerted by the vapor which sits on top of any liquid
Vapor Pressure
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid phase to its gas phase
Boiling Point
The number of moles of a given component in a mixture divided by the total number of moles in a mixture.
Mole Fraction
