Gas Laws

Question 2

Gases can be easily compressed by applying pressure to a movable pistion in a container with rigid walls

Answer 2

Compressibility

Implies a decrease in volume

Question 3

Gases expand to fulfill the entire volume of their container

Answer 3

Expansibility

Implies an increase in volume

Question 4

It is the property of the gas to be distributed uniformly and to move independently of each other and of gravity

Answer 4

Diffusibility

Question 5

Gases liquefy when sufficiently cooled

Answer 5

Liquefaction

Question 6

All gases expand upon being heated and contract upon being cooled

Answer 6

Effect of temperature

Question 7

Gases have low density as compared with liquids and solids

Answer 7

Low Density

Question 8

[BLANK] exerted by gas is due to the bombardment of the walls of the containing vessel by the molecules gas

Answer 8

Volume

Question 9

A model used to explain the behavior of gases.

Answer 9

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Question 10

Pressure Standard Conversions

Answer 10

1 mmHg = 1 torr
1 mmHg = 76.0 cmHg
1 atm = 760 mmHg
1 atm = 101,325 Pa

Question 11

Temperature Standards

Answer 11

273.15 K (0 C)

Question 12

Boyle’s Law

Pressure - Volume

Answer 12

P1V1 = P2V2

Question 13

Charle’s Law

Volume - Temperature

Answer 13

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Question 14

Gay - Lussac’s Law

Pressure - Temperature

Answer 14

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Question 15

Combined Gas Law

Volume - Pressure - Temperature

Answer 15

P1 V1/T1 = P2 V2/ T2

Question 16

Avogadro’s Law

Answer 16

V1/n1 = V2/n2

Question 17

Ideal Gas Equation

Answer 17

R = PV / nT

R = 0.0821 atm(L)/mol(K)
