Gas Laws Flashcards
What is the formula for pressure?
P = F/A
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
KE = (1/2)m*v^2
What is Diffusion?
The spontaneous mixing of two substances due to their rapid, random motion of particles.
What is Effusion?
It describes the behavior of a fluid as it passes through a small opening
What does temperature measure?
Kinetic energy (motion)
What is STP?
Standard Temperature and Pressure: 0°C & 1atm
What is the formula for Boyle’s law?
P1V1 = P2V2
What is Boyle’s law? (Definition)
As volume goes down, pressure goes up (inverse relationship)
What is the formula for Charles’ law?
V1/T1 = V2/T2
What is Charles’ law? (Definition)
Temp goes down, volume goes down (direct relationship)
What is the formula for Gay-Lussac’s law?
P1/T1 = P2/T2
What is Gay-Lussac’s law? (Definition)
Temp goes up, pressure goes up (direct relationship)
What is the formula for Ideal gas law?
PV = nRT
How do you use standard molar volume?
If at STP, 22.4 Liters per mole can be used to convert
What is Gay-Lussac’s law of combing gas volumes? (Definition)
At constant temp & pressure, the volumes of gases can be expressed as ratios of small, whole numbers
