Gas Flashcards
1
Q
General properties of gases
A
- There is a of “free” space in a gas
- Can be expanded indefinetly
- Occupy containers uniformly and completely
- Diffuse and mix rapidly
2
Q
Gases:
motion
temperature
interaction between particles
collisions
volume
A
- Motion: random, follow straight lines
- Temp: proportional to ave KE (kinetic energy)
- Interaction between particles: no attraction/repulsion
- Collisions: elastic (no energy lost/gained with container wall)
- Volume: about 0
3
Q
Real vs. ideal gases
A
- Real gases act ideally except in situations where intermolecular forces kick in
- Ex:
- O2, N2, CO2 non polar (ideal)
- H2O polar (real)
4
Q
Pressure
A
Force divided by the area
5
Q
Atmospheric pressure
A
- Measured with barometer
- mmHg or torr
- Hg rises in tube until force of Hg balances the force of atmosphere (pushing up)
- P of Hg pushing down related to
- Hg density
- Column height
6
Q
Standard pressure units
A
- 101.3 kPa
- 760 mmHg / torr
- 1 atm
- 14.7 psi
- 29.92 inches
7
Q
Manometers
A
- Measures the pressure of a sample gas, man made gas
8
Q
Pressure vs temperature
A
- Pressure increase temperature increase
- P/T=P/T
9
Q
Volume vs pressure
A
- Volume increase pressure decrease
- PV = PV
10
Q
Volume vs temperature
A
- Volume increase temperature increase
- V/T=V/T
11
Q
Pressure vs number of particles (n)
A
- Pressure increase n increase
- Collisions increase
12
Q
Volume vs number of particles (n)
A
- Volume increase n increase
- V/N=V/N
13
Q
Combined gas law
A
- PV/T=PV/T
14
Q
STP
A
- 0o C = 273.15 K
- 1 atm
- 22.4 L = 1 mol
15
Q
Ideal Gas Law
A
- PV = nRT
