Gases Flashcards
What is the major difference between the states of matter?
The arrangement of particles
Solid have
Definite volume
Definite Shape
Liquid have
Definite volume
Indefinite shape
Gas have
Indefinite volume
Indefinite shape
What is the physical significance of having the gas’ arrangement of particles?
It is compressible
The volume of a gas changes significantly with:
Pressure, temperature, gases flow freely, gases generally
Characteristics of gases
Gases flow freely, gases generally mix in all proportions
Major Characteristics of gases
Expansibility
Compressibility
Pressure
Effect on heat
Diffusibility
The collision of gases particles on the walls of the container gives rise to
Pressure
SI unit of pressure
Pascal
Formula for pressure
Force/ area
This may either be in terms of grams or moles
Amount
SI unit of amount
Moles
Formula for amount of substance
Grams/ molar mass
The amount of space that is to be occupied by gaseous state
Volume
SI unite of volume
Cubic meter
Relates to the average kinetic energy of gaseous particles
Temperature
SI unit of temperature
Kelvin
Celsius to Fahrenheit
(9/5 x C) + 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius
(5/9 x F) - 32
A parameter that describes gases, which have an SI unit of Joule
Energy
equivalent of 1 cal to joule?
4.184 J
What is the values for Universal Gas Constant in correct units?
8.314 J/ mol K
0.08205 L atm/ mol K
1.986 cal/ mol K
Pressure in STP
1 atm/ 101.3 kPa
Temperature in STP
0 C/ 273.15 K
Molar volume in STP
22.4 L/ atm
No. of moles in STP
1 mol
Enumerate the 5 kinetic molecular theory of gases
- Gases travel in straight lines and random directions
- Small particle sizes to be negligible
- Atomic collision are perfectly elastic, KE is conserved
4.Gas particles do not repel or attract - KE of gas is directly proportional to Kelvin Temperature
What are the parameters that describes gases
Pressure, temperature, amount, volume
