Gases Flashcards
Density of a gas formula:
Density = PM/ RT
P: pressure of the gas
M: molar mass of the gas
R: 0.0821
T: temperature (K)
A gas’ density is directly proportional to its:
Molar mass
The gas with the _________ mass (molecular weight) will have the highest density
Highest
Boyle’s law
- pressure is inversely proportional to its volume under constant temperature

ideal gas law rules:
- gas molecules take up no volume
- all collisions are elastic = no intermolecular forces = no loss of kinetic energy
- the avergae kinetic energy of a gas depends on the systems temperature
gases behave most ideally at ____ pressure and ____ temperature
- low pressure: volume of the container is must larger than volume occupied by the gas molecules making their volume negligable
- high temperature: gas molecules move fast and experience no intermolecular forces
ideal gas law
PV = nRT
* P = pressure
* V = volume
* n = moles
* R = 0.0821 L x atm/mol x K
* T = temperature (K)
charle’s law
volume and temperature are directly proportional under constant pressure

Avogadro’s law:
- volume and the number of moles are directly proportional
- equal volumes of all gasses at the same temperature and pressure have the same number of molecules
dalton’s law of partial pressure
- in a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the summation of partial pressure of individual gases
how to calculate partial pressure of a gas:
P1 = (X1)(Ptotal)
* P1 = partial pressure of a gas
* X1 = mole fraction of the gas
* Ptotal = product of the total pressure
