Chapter 5 Flashcards
Gas volume changes with
pressure and volume
pressure =
force/area
atmospheric pressure decreases with
altitude
the 4 variables that determine behavior of gasses
pressure, temperature,volume,amount
ideal gas
gas that has linear relationships among the 4 variables
are there true ideal gases?
no
what is Boyles law?
not the formula
at a constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure
what is the formula for Boyles law?
PV= constant (p1t1=p2v2)
at fixed pressure and temperature, P decreases as V
increases
at a fixed temp. and pressure, P increases as V
decreases
What relationship does Boyles law illustrate with gases?
pressure & volume
What relationship does Charles law illustrate with gases?
temperature and volume
Absolute zero is what?
where an ideal gas would have 0 volume
what is the degree for absolute 0?
0 Kelvin
What is the proportional part of gases in Charles law?
temperature and volume
Volume decreases as temperature
increases
volume increases as temperature
decreases
