Chapter 8 Flashcards
Gas Phases
- Gases are compressible fluids with rapid molecular motion
- Large intermolecular distances
- Weak intermolecular forces
Barometer at High Altitude
- Atmospheric pressure lower
- Column falls
Barometer Under Water
- Hydrostatic and atmospheric pressure exerted
- Column rises
STP
T = 273 K (0˚C)
P = 1 atm
Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
Density of a Gas
p = m/V = PM/RT
Aogadro’s Principle
n1/V1 = n2/V2
Boyle’s Law
P1V1 = P2V2
Charle’s Law
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Gay-Lussac’s Law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Henry’s Law
[A] = k * P
[A]1/P1 = [A]2/P2=k
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Assumptions: negligible volume of gas particles, no intermolecular forces, random motion, elastic collisions, proportionality between absolute temperature and energy
The average KE of a molecule of gas is directly proportional to temperature of gas in Kelvins
Root-Mean-Square Speed
Graham’s Law
- Gases with higher molar mass leak slower than gas with lower molar mass
- Particles with small masses travel faster than ones with large masses
Real Gases
- Nonnegligible volume and attractive forces
- Deviate from ideal gases at high pressure (low volume) and low temperature
Ideal gases have paricles with no attractive forces between them
