Gases Flashcards
Structure of Gases
1) particles moving fast 2) empty space 3) exerting force on outside “wall” … bouncing off
Pressure
Force / Area
Difference in Pressure Areas
Difference flows from high –> low pressure. The greater the difference, the stronger the flow
Atmospheric Pressure
“atm”…..the higher the altitude, the higher the pressure
Factors Affecting Pressure of Gas
1) speed of particle movement 2) volume of container and 3) # of gas particles present
Measures Air Pressure
Barometer
Measures Gas Pressure in a Container
Manometer
Boyle’s Law
P1 x V2 = P2 x V2 (inverse proportion)
Charles’ Law
P1 / T1 = V2 / T2 (direct proportion)
Avogrado’s Law
V1 / n1 = V2 / n2 (direct p)
Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
Combined Gas Law
P1 x V1 / T1 = P2 x V2 / T2
Standard Conditions
P = 1 atm, V = 22.4 L (1 mol of any gas), T = in Kelvin,
Density @ STP
D = molar mass (g) / 22.4 L/mole
Density Law
D = P (molar mass) / R x T
