Gas Laws/State Of Matter CH 6 & 7 Flashcards
What are the laws that make up the Empirical gas laws
Boyle’s law, Charle’s Law, and Avogadro’s Law
What does Boyle’s Law state
When temperature is constant, Volume is inversely proportional to pressure
As pressure goes up, volume goes down
As pressure goes down, volume goes up
P1V1=P2V2
What does Charle’s Law state
When pressure and amount of gas are constant, volume is directly proportional to temperature
As temp goes up, volume goes up
As temp goes down, volume goes down
V1/T1 = V2/T2
*note: Not really true. Gas in a contained cylinder will have an increase in pressure as the temp goes up and VOLUME remains constant.
*Gay Lussc’s Law is a variation of Charles law which addresses this discrepancy (P1/T1=P2/T2)
What does Avogadro’s Law state
When temperature is constant, the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas
Volume goes up, #moles goes up
Volume goes down, #moles goes down
V1/n1=V2/n2
What does Gay-Lussac’s Law state
It is a variation of Charle’s law and states that when volume is constant, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
Temp goes up, pressure goes up
Temp goes down, pressure goes down
P1/T1 = P2/T2
What is the combined gas laws?
It combines Boyles, Charles, and Avogadro’s Law
P1V1/n1T1 = P2V2/n2T2
What is the Ideal Gas Law
It describes the behavior of an ideal gas under all conditions, but it does not account for real gases that we deal with in real life.
PV=nRT
R is constant
n = # moles
P = pressure
V = volume
T = temp in kelvin
What is the universal gas constant?
R is the universal gas constant
R = PV/nT
R = 0.08206 Latm/molK
What does R equal
R = 0.08206 Latm/molK
What is STP
The Standard Temperature and Pressure
It is a commonly cited set of conditions that helps determine R when conditions are specified
STP is defined to be exactly zero degrees C or 273.15K with a standard pressure 1 Bar
1Bar = 100kPa = 1atm = 760 torr = 101325 Pa or 101.325 kPa
What is the standard molar volume of a gas
The volume that exactly 1 mole of ideal gas occupies under STP conditions
1 mol = 22.71 L
What do we need to know in order to calculate gas density
mass and volume
Density = m/V
How do we calculate density if we have known temperature and pressure
use the ideal gas law (n=PV/RT) to get moles of each component
then obtain the molecular mass of each component
Multiply n by the molecular mass of each component to get the fraction of mass
Substitute those fractions into the Density = m/v
Volume should be given and remember gas is non-reactive and their volumes are additive (so if N2=0.79L and O2=0.21L the the V=0.79+0.21=1.0L)
What does Dalton’s law state
the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each component of gas
Ptotal = P1 + P2…..+Pn
To calculate partial pressure,
Pi = Xi * Ptotal
where Xi is the mole fraction in a mixture
And Ptotal = nRT/V
What is relative humidity
the measure of the saturation of water in the air
One way to calculate relative humidity is to divide the amount of water in the air by the solubility of water in the air
Relative humidity is a function of temperature
as temp goes up solubility of water in air goes up
What is the solubility of water in the air
It is the maximum amount of water that a given volume of air can accommodate
How much N2 and O2 are in the air?
79%N2 and 21% O2
We usually measure water vapor pressure in air as
47mmHg
What is the dew point temperature
it is the condensation formed when a sample is cooled to a temperature where the actual concentration of water exceeds the solubility of water in air
How can we calculate of relative humidity using vapor pressure and partial pressures
RH = partial pressure of water/vapor pressure of water all times 100%
what is the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
It describes ideal gases based on 4 tenents
what are the 4 tenants of the kinetic molecular theory of gases
1) Gases consist of small particles while volume is negligible compare to the volume of gas
- not really true: real gas at high pressures crows more gas molecules into same volume
2) Gas molecules are in constant, random motion
3) The molecules in the sample show a range of kinetic energies, but the average KE depends only on the temperature
4) There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the gas particles, so all Collins are elastic
- not really true: real gases do have an attractive force as seen in liquid state & low temperatures
The average KE is dependent on what
Temperature
KE = 3/2kT
k= Boltzmann’s constant
Boltzmann’s constant (k) equals
1.38 x10^-23 J/K
1 mi = meters (m)?
1,609m
1hr = sec?
3600s
What is the difference between Diffusion and Effusion
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high to low concentration
Effusion is the movement of gas through a small opening
What does Graham’s Law state
The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass (M)
What does the Vander de Waals Equation do
It corrects for the intermolecular attractions between gaseous molecules and for the finite volume of the gas molecules
What does The Molecular Theory of Matter describe
it describes all states of matter and the conversion between the states by considering the structures of molecules comprising matter and how those molecules interact
What are the 3 commonly encountered states and what characterizes them?
Solid: characterized by shape and volume
Liquid: characterized by a definite volume, but NOT shape. It conforms to the shape of the canister.
Gas: Have neither Definite shape or volume. Gas will expand to fill available space.
Do gases have intermolecular forces?
No
the move freely and collide freely
Which states are compressible
Liquids and Solids
Which states are considered fluids
Gases and Liquids
Melting is
the conversion of a solid into a liquid
Freezing is
the conversion of a liquid into a solid
Vaporization is
when a liquid vaporizes into a gas
Condensation is
when a gas condenses into a liquid
Deposition is
when a gas converts into a solid
Sublimation is
when a solid converts into a gas without having to become a liquid first
What are intermolecular forces
Forces the determine how molecules interact with one another. They arise because of the attraction of opposite charges and produce an inherent repulsion.
Determined by chemical bonds that hold atoms together
They are electrostatic in nature
4 types of IMF: dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, London forces, and ion-dipole interactions
What are Dipole-Dipole interactions
Dipole attractions between the opposite (partial) charges of POLAR molecules
What are Hydrogen Bonding interactions
Special type of dipolar interaction only possible when a hydrogen atom is directly bonded to F, O or N.
Stronger than Dipole-Dipole interactions
It is the most important intermolecular force
What are London forces
It is the result of an instantaneous dipole that is created whenever electrons in a molecule are unevenly distributed.
All molecules and atoms that have electrons, exhibit London forces.
Larger molecules show more London forces because larger molecule have more electrons
