What is a barometer? How does it work?
A glass tube where the top is submerged in mercury and atmospheric pressure forces the mercury upwards
What is the formula for atmospheric pressure in a barometer? What do variables stand for?
Patm=ghd
Patm is atmospheric pressure
h is height of liquid column
d is density
g is gravity
How would you convert one bar to pascals?
Multiply by 100 000
How can gas pressure be measured?
Manometer
If height is equal in a manometer what does that mean about the pressure of the gas?
The pressure is the same btwn the atmosphere and gas
If height of side exposed to atmosphere is higher in a manometer what does that mean about the pressure of the gas?
The gas pressure is greater
If height of side exposed to atmosphere is lower in a manometer what does that mean about the pressure of the gas?
The pressure of the gas is less than the atmosphere
What did Boyle’s law find? What is kept constant? What is formula?
Pressure and volume are inversely proportional
Temperature and moles
P1V1=P2V2
What did Charles’s law find? What is kept constant? What is the formula? What unit for temperature is required?
Volume and temperature are directly proportional
Pressure and moles
V1/T1=V2/T2
Kelvin
What does the combined gas law include? What is the formula? What unit must the temperature be in?
Boyle’s and Charles’s law
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
Kelvin
What does Avogadro’s Law relate? What stays constant? What is the formula?
Volume is directly proportional to moles of gas
Temperature and pressure
V1/n1=V2/n2
What does the ideal gas law include? What is the formula? What does temperature have to be in?
Boyle’s law, Charle’s law, and Avogadro’s law
PV=nRT
Kelvin
What is one joule equivalent to?
Pam^3 or kpa L
If we know the mass of a gas, what form of the ideal gas law can we use?
PV=(m/M)RT
