Q

Simple mercury barometer

A

Measures incident (usually atmospheric) pressure, as pressure increases, more mercury is forced into the column increasing its height, as pressure decreases, mercury flows out of the column under its own weight, decreasing its height

Q

Ideal gases

A

Assume negligee mass and volume of gas molecules, equimolar amounts of two gases will occupy the same volume at the same temp and pressure, at STP, one mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L

Q

Daltons laws of partial pressures

A

States that individual gas components of mixture of gases will exert individual pressures in proportion to their mole fractions, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases

Q

Kinetic molecular theory

A

Attempts to explain the behavior of gas particles, makes the following assumptions:

Gas particles have negligible mass, gas particles do not have intermolecular attractions or repulsions, gas particles undergo random collisions with each other and the walls of the container, collisions between gas particles and the walls of the container are elastic, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is directly proportional to temperature

A

Describes the behavior of gas diffusion or effusion, stating that gases with lower molar masses will diffuse oe effuse faster than gases with higher molar masses at the same temperature

Q

Diffusion

A

The spreading out of particles from high to low concetrations

17
Q

Effusion

A

Movement of gas from one compartment to another through a small opening under pressure

18
Q

Real gases

A

Deviate from ideal behavior under high pressure, low volume, or low temperature conditions

19
Q

Moderately high pressure, low volume, low temperature real gases

A

Will occupy less volume than predicted but the ideal gas law because the particles have intermolecular attractions

20
Q

Extremely high pressure, low volume, low temperature real gases

A

Will occupy more volume than predicted by the ideal gas law because the particles occupy physical space
