GAS LAWS Flashcards
what assumptions can we make about how the atoms behave in a kinetic model
- large number of molecules in random, rapid motion
- particles occupy negligible volume
- all collisions are elastic
-forces between particles can be ignored except for collisions
what is the change in momentum equal to when a particle collides with a wall
p=2mv
=mv-(-)mv
=mv+mv
=2mv
What is Boyles law
pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume, provided temp stays constant
how does volume vary with pressure
If temp is constant
as you increase pressure the volume does down
p∝1/v, which will give a straight line on a graph
or pV=constant
what happens when you quickly compress a gas
temp increases
what is the equation linking pressure and temp
p∝T
p/t=?
constant
p1xt2/t1=?
p2
explain pV=nRT
n=number of moles
R=molar gas constant=8.31 jk^-1mol^-1
explain F=nmc^2/L
we want C because its the average speed of all the molecules
n is the total number
what is boltzman constant
1.38x10^-23 jk^-1
how do u workout number of particles with moles
multiply by avogadros number
What is Charles law
at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temp
what is internal energy
the sum of the randomly distributed kinetic and potential energies of all the atoms or molecules within the system
what does RAVED stand for
Random motion
Attraction- none between particles
Volume- the gas particles take up a negligible volume
Elastic collisions
Duration of collisions are negligible
