Chp 8 Gas Laws and equation Flashcards
Boyle’s law
For a fixed mass of a gas at constant temperature the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to it’s volume
PV=K
P ₁V ₁=P₂V₂
Charles’ Law
For a fixed mass of a gas at constant pressure the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvins
V/T=K
V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂
Combined gas law
PV/T=K
Gay-Lussac’s law of combining volumes
Gas reactants are in simple whole number ratios by volume with each other and their products
Ideal gases
A gas which obeys the kinetic theory of gases at all conditions of temperature and pressure
PV=nRT
Kinetic Theory of Gases
1st
Gas particles are in rapid, random straight line motion colliding with each other and with the wall of the container
Kinetic Theory of Gases
2nd
The collisions between gas particles are elastic - Particles don’t lose energy when they collide
Kinetic Theory of Gases
4th
The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to their temperature in Kelvin.
Kinetic Theory of Gases
3rd
The distance between gas particles are so large relative to the volume of the gas particles, that we say that gas particles don’t have a volume. They are called point masses
Kinetic Theory of Gases
5th
There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles
Volatile
Evaporates easier
Relative molecular mass
Mass of 1 mole
