Chemistry Gas Laws Flashcards
Ideal Gas Law
PV=nRT
What does each of the variables stand for in the Ideal Gas Law?
P= Pressure(atm), V= Volume(L), n= number of moles, R= 0.0821, T= Temperature(K)
Ideal Gas Law( molar mass)
molar mass=
Boyle’s Law
P1V1=P2V2
Charles’s Law
(V1/T1)=(V2/T2)
Common Pressure Units
1 atm=760 mmHg=760 torr=101.325 kPa=14.7 psi
Properties of Gas
Very Weak IMF, Always Homogeneous, V of gas particles is only about 0.1% of the volume of the gas
How is pressure caused
Pressure caused by the collision of gas particles with a surface
What are the two ways to increase pressure?
Add more gas(increases number of collision) or Increase the temperature(increases speed of gas particles)
What instrument measures the air pressure?
A Barometer
Who invented the barometer?
Evangelista Torriceli
What does Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure state?
The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the individual gases in the mixture [Pt=P1+P2+P3+…+Pn]
What must the temperature be in for all the gas laws to work?
Kelvin
How do you convert from C to K? K to C?
K=C+273 and C=K-273
Gay-Lussac’s Law
P1/T1=P2/T2
