Chapter 6 Flashcards
Gas laws
Volume & Pressure are
Inversely proportional
Volume & Temperature are
Directly Proportional
The volume of gas is directly proportional to
The number of moles
Boyle’s Law explains the relationship between
Volume & pressure
In Boyle’s Law, as the pressure increases,
The volume decreases & vice versa
At a higher pressure, gas is more
Concentrated & vice versa
Charle’s Law explains the relationship between
Volume & temperature
With Charle’s Law, volume of a gas is
Proportional to its absolute temperature, as long as the pressure 7 amount of gas are held constant
What is Boyle’s Law equation?
P1V1=P2V2
What is the equation for Charle’s Law?
V1/T1=V2/T2
With Charle’s Law, temperature must be expressed in
Kelvin
How else can you write Charles’s Law?
V=mT
Avogadro’s Law explains
The relationship between Volume & Mole
At equal temperatures & pressures, equal volumes of gas
Contain equal numbers of particles
With Advogadro’s number, the volume of a gas is
Directly proportional to the number of gas molecules, as long as temperature & pressure are held constant
What is the Combined Gas Law
P1V1/n1T1=
P2V2/n2T2
For gases & only for gases, the volume
Percent of each component is always equal to the mole percent
What is the equation for ideal gas law?
PV=nRT
P=pressure
V=volume
n=moles
T=absolute temperature
R=constant
Ideal gas does
Not exist
Volume is inversely proportional to ________ & directly proportional to_______
Pressure; Absolute temperature & to Moles
The standard temperature= is
Exactly 0 degree Celsius
The standard pressure is
1 bar or 100kPa
1 atm=
101.325 kPa=760 torr
What is the standard molar volume of a gas?
Is the volume that exactly 1 mole of an ideal gas occupied under STP conditions
22.71 L
R is called the
Universal gas constant because it appears in several seemingly unrelated physical relationship
The density of a gas depends very strongly on the
Temperature & pressure
Dalton’s Law states the
Total pressure of a gaseous mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each of the component gases
The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the
Pressure the gas would exert by itself under identical conditions of temperature & volume
The partial pressure of each component is
Proportional to the moles of that component in the sample
The partial pressure of each component in a
Gaseous mixture is equal to the mole fraction of the component times the total pressure
Relative humidity measures
The saturation of water in the air
How do you calculate relative humidity?
Concentration of water in the air sample/solubility of water in the air TIMES 100%
The solubility of water in air is the
Maximum amount of water that a given volume of air can accommodate, & the solubility of water in air increases with increasing temperature
Relative humidity is also a
Function of temperature
If the sample is cooled to a temperature where the actual concentration of water exceeds the solubility of water in air,
Dew will form
(dew point temperature)
What another way to calculate relative humidity
Partial pressure of water/vapor pressure of water
What is it called when gaseous water molecules exert a pressure
Vapor pressure
At higher temperatures, more. water vaporizes into the air &
Exerts higher pressure
If the vapor pressure is higher at higher temperatures, then
The air has a greater capacity for water at that temperature
The maximum solubility of water in air is directly related to
The vapor pressure of water
Increasing humidity decreases
Partial pressure of oxygen available for breathing
What are the 4 components of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases?
- gases consist of small particles whose volume is negligible compared to the volume of the gas
- Gas molecules are in constant, random motion
- The molecules in the sample show a range of kinetic energies, but the average KE depends only on the temperature
- There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the gas particles, so all collisions are elastic
In any sample of gas, the molecules are in
Constant random motion, but they do not move all at the same speed
What is the internal energy of a system?
The sum of the kinetic & potential energies of the molecules
If you increase the temperature of the sample, the added energy goes
Into increasing the average KE of the molecules
Temperature is directly proportional to the
Average KE
The distribution of kinetic energies among the molecules in a sample is given by
The Maxwell-Boltzmann speed of distribution
No molecule have
Zero KE
The number of molecules at a given KE increases to a maximum & then
Asymptotically approach zero again
A higher temperature means a
Higher average KE
Different gases have the same
Average KE if their temperature is the same
