Q

Kinetic molecular theory makes 5 assumptions about ideal gas behavior. What are they?

A
  1. Particle volume is negligible to container volume
  2. No intermolecular attractions
  3. Continuous random motion
  4. All collisions are elastic - conservation of momentum and kinetic energy
  5. Average kinetic energy is proportional to absolute temp of gas
17
Q

The speed of an individual gas molecule is impossible to define, so how do we define gas speed?

A

Average molecular speed

18
Q

What can we use to define average gas speed?

A

Root mean square speed

19
Q

What happens to molecules at higher temperatures?

A

A greater proportion move at higher speeds

20
Q

Kinetic molecular theory predicts that heavier gases diffuse (slower/faster)? than lighter ones because of their differing average speeds.

21
Q

Because all gas particles have the same average kinetic energy at the same temperature, what must be true about particles with greater mass?

A

They travel at a slower average speed

22
Q

Under isothermal and isobaric conditions, the rates at which 2 gases diffuse are inversely proportion to what?

A

The square roots of their molar masses

23
Q

____________ is the flow of gas particles under pressure from one compartment to another through a small opening.

24
Q

Rates of effusion are proportional to what?

A

Average speeds

25
At high pressures, the size of particles becomes relatively large compared to the distance between them, which causes what?
Causes them to take up larger volume than predicted
26
At moderate pressure, a gas's volume is less than expected because of what?
intermolecular attraction
27
The closer a gas is to its ____________ ________, the less ideally it acts.
boiling point
28
What equation corrects for real gas behavior?
van der Waals equation
