Chemistry Flashcards
Which of the following correctly reflects the relationship between the volume and the external pressure on a gas at constant temperature?
- As pressure decreases, volume will increase.
2. Pressure and volume are inversely prepositional.
How does a gas exert pressure?
The moving gas particles strike each other and the wall of the container, exerting a force.
Pressure =
Force/Area
The SI unit for pressure is?
The Pascal (pa)
Boyles Law?
states the at constant temperature, the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is inversely promotional to the applied pressure. This means that as the pressure on the gas increases, the volume will decrease.
Pressure decreases with ?
Altitude
Manometers
Used to measure the pressure of a gas in an experiment
Barometer
Uses Mercury to measure atmospheric pressure = 760mmHg.
Invented by Torricelli
Closed-end Manometer
a mercury-filled, curved tube is closed at one end and attached to a flask at the other. When the flask is evacuated, the mercury levels in the two arms of the tube are the same because no gas exerts pressure on either mercury surface. When a gas is in the flask, it pushes down the mercury level in the near arm, causing the level to rise in the far arm. The difference in column heights (Δh) equals the gas pressure.
Open-end Manometer
also consists of a curved tube filled with mercury, but one end of the tube is open to the atmosphere and the other is connected to the gas sample. The atmosphere pushes on one mercury surface, and the gas pushes on the other. Again, Δh equals the difference between two pressures. But, when using this type of manometer, we must measure the atmospheric pressure with a barometer and either add or subtract Δh from that value.

Charles’s Law
at constant pressure, the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute (Kelvin) temperature
Volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP?
22.4L
0 Kelvin is equal to what C
-273.15 C
Avagadro’s Law
at fixed temperature and pressure, equal volumes of any ideal gas contain equal numbers (or moles) of particles.

0.0821 atm . L/ mol . K
Thermodynamics
the study of energy and its transformation
Thermochemistry
is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the heat involved in chemical and physical changes.
1st Law of Thermodynamics
states that the total
energy of the universe is constant.
