Chapter 8: The Gas Phase Flashcards
If you had a balloon filled with helium tied and suspended in a vehicle, and the vehicle accelerated, which way would the balloon travel?
The balloon would travel in the same direction of the acceleration, which is counterintuitive. If accelerating forward, the helium filled balloon will move forward because the density of the helium (4 g/mol) is less than that of the surrounding air (29 g/mol). Given that the air has more density, the air has greater inertia than the helium and resists the forward motion more than the helium, shifting the air backward and causing the helium to shift forward. Super cool example.
What is the normal adult blood pressure?
Less than 120mmHg systolic/ 80mmHg diastolic.
Hypertension is having at least two blood pressures exceeding the 140/90.
What is standard temperature and pressure (STP)? Recall standard state, what is standard state?
What are the four variables that define the state of a gaseous sample?
What is the SI unit of pressure? What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure, mmHG, torr, and pascal?
Compare and contrast STP and standard state conditions.
They both refer to temperatures and pressures, but have different purposes.
STP is 273 K and 1 atm and generally used for gas law calculations.
Standard state conditions are generally 298K, 1 atm, at 1M concentrations (1mol/L), and are used when measuring standard enthalpy, entropy, free, energy, changes, and electrochemical cell voltage.
Name some characteristics that make the gas phase unique.
Gases are compressible fluids with rapid molecular motion, large intermolecular distances, and weak intermolecular forces.
Concept check page 280 gas phase:
What are the assumptions made for an ideal gas?
An ideal gas represents a hypothetical gas with molecules that have no intermolecular forces and occupy the volume.
Although real gases deviate from this ideal behavior at high pressures, low volume, and low temperatures, many compressed gases demonstrate behavior that is close to ideal.
What is the ideal gas law?
What are the different expressions of the ideal gas law (hint: SI units)?
Why is it important to know the different expressions of the ideal gas law?
What is does one joule represent?
What does one newton represent?
What is the ideal gas constant used to do?
What does the graph of P and V look like for given temperatures of an ideal gas when n, R, and T are held constant?

What is density defined as? What is the usual expression for density of a gas?
What is the equation for density of a gas? How can we rearrange the ideal gas law to calculate the density of a gas?
What is the combined gas law? How is it used?

What volume does one mole of an ideal gas at STP occupy?
At STP (273 k and 1 atm), one mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L
