Gases Flashcards
Why do gases expand
To fill all of the space available uniformly
Are gases conpressible
Yes
What happens to the volume after gases get mixed with other gases
Nothing, it stays the same
Is the density of a gas low or high
Low
What is the formula for pressure
P=F/A
F meaning force
A meaning area
1 atm = ? Torr (mmHg)
760 torr
1atm = 760torr = ? Pa or kPa?
101.325 Pa or kPa
What is Boyle’s law
P1V1=P2V2
What is Charles’ law?
V1/T1=V2/T2
V meaning volume
T meaning temperature (K)
What is the ideal gas law?
PV = nRT P meaning pressure V meaning volume n meaning number of moles R meaning the [constant] T meaning temperature (K)
What is STP?
The standard temperature and pressure
What is the temperature and pressure at STP?
T: 0 degrees celsius and 273.15 degrees Kelvin
P: 1 atm
What pressure and temperature are used when the R constant is used?
Atm and Kelvin.
What is the gas density equation?
M = ρRT/P
ρ meaning density (W/P)
M meaning number of moles
How to find ρ?
ρ = PM/RT
