cummulative information for exam 2
What are the vales for :
Absolute pressure and temp
Room pressure and temp
Body temp
Absolute – 273.15 K 0 C @ 1 atm
Room - 293K 20 C @ 1 atm
Body - 310K 37 C @ 1 atm
Law— at a constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with the absolute pressure ?
Boyle’s Law
P1V1 = P2V2
What is constant in Boyle’s law?
Temperature: “Boyle had TB”
Formula for ideal gas law?
PV=nRT (NOTE: Pressure and Temp are Absolute)
use to derive the 3 gas laws
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature
What is an example of applying Boyle’s law?
calculating the amount of oxygen available at 1 atm
1 atm = _____ kPa
1 atm = 101.33 kPa 1 atm ~ 100 kPa
What is the water capacity of an E cylinder?
4.8 L
1 atm = _____ psi
14.7 psi
Law — at a constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature?
Charles’s Law
What is the contant in Charles’s Law?
pressure; “Charles had CP”
Law— at a constant volume, the absolute pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature?
Don’s Law
What is constant in Don’s Law?
volume; “Don had VD”
When given a problem to solve, how do you decide which gas law to use?
- set the variables = to the constants 2. drop the constants 3. use given variables to solve for the unknown variable
What is STP?
Standard Temp and Pressure T= 273 K, 0 C P= 760 mmHg
What is RTP?
Room Temp and Pressure T= 293 K, 20 C P= 760 mmHg
What is BTP?
Body Temp and Pressure T= 310 K, 37 C P= 760 mmHg
A fire breaks out in the dental office near the nitrous tank storage room, what could happen to the tanks? why?x
a. explode b. heat would cause the gas to expand, therefor increase pressure with in the tank
How does the cryprobe work?
adiabatic process
What is adiabatic process?
altering the state of gas without allowing the gas to exchange heat energy with it’s surroundings. Adiabatic heating = rapid pressure increase(compression) Adiabatic cooling = rapid pressure decrease (expansion)
