Gas Flashcards
What unit must temperature be in when working with gas?
Kelvin
Charles’ Law
Volume and pressure are directly related
Pressure equation
Force/area
Ideal gas Law
PV=nRT
Gas characteristics
- Uniformly fill any container
- mix completely with other gases
- Exert pressure on their surroundings
Boyle’s Law
Pressure and volume are inversely related
Avogadro’s Law
volume and moles are directly related
Tort mean quart velocity definition
Average velocity of all the gas particles related to the temp and the molar mass of the gas
STP meaning
Standard temperature and pressure (temp = 273.15 K, pressure = 1 atm)
Standard temperature
0 degrees C or 273.15 K
Standard pressure
1 atm
Dalton’s Law of Partial pressure
Total pressure exerted is the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone
Diffusion
The mixing of gases
Effusion
Describes the passage of a gas through a tiny orifice into an evacuated chamber
Graham’s Law of Effusion
Rate of effusion of gas 1 is inversely related to the rate of effusion of gas 2
