Gases Flashcards
Gases are compressible because gas particles are _____________ compared to the size of their container.
Small
Gas pressure is caused by gas particles hitting the walls of the container. Pressure is dependent on two things:
1) how hard they hit the walls (speed/energy)
2) how many are hitting the walls (speed/more particles)
P and V are __________ proportional at constant temperature.
Indirectly
T and P are __________ proportional when volume is constant.
Directly
P and n are ___________ proportional when volume and temperature are constant.
Directly
How to select a gas constant, R, in PV = nRT.
Based on units of pressure
STP
1 atm
273 K
Moles/volume relationship of gas at STP
1 mol takes up 22.4 L
Molar mass formula for gases
MM = DRT/P
Gases at the same temperature have the same ________________.
Average kinetic energy
Gases with larger molar masses have __________ average speeds.
Lower
Formula to use when bubble gases through water
Ptotal = Pdry gas + Pwater vapor
Conditions for gases to behave most ideally
High T
Low P
More ________ gases and ________ gases tend to deviate from ideal behavior.
Polar; larger
_______________ gases are most ideal.
Small, nonpolar
