Q

kinetic theory of gases

A
  1. gases are composed of particles that do not have defined volume, yet have a defined mass. the size is minuscule in comparison to the distance between them (considered negligible)
  2. there are no intermolecular attractions or repulsions between the gas molecules
  3. gas particles are always in continuous, random motion
  4. collisions between gas particles are elastic, no loss or gain of kinetic energy when particles collide
  5. average kinetic energy is always the same for all gases at a specific temperature, regardless of the identity of the gas. The kinetic energy is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas,

How to balance rxns under acidic conditions:

2) Balance O atoms by adding H2O as needed
3) Balance H atoms by adding H+ as needed
4) Balance charge by adding e- as needed

68
Q

Ideal Gas Assumptions

A

1) The volume or size of each individual gas molecule is insignificant
- when the volume or space that a gas occupies is high, the volume of the individual gas particles becomes insignificant compared to the distance between them
- high volume gas = low pressure gas, as pressure and volume are inversely related
- at low pressures, the volume of individual gas particles is insignificant and the gas is likely to behave ideally

2) Gas molecules collisions with each other are perfectly elastic. No intermolecular forces.
- completely overcoming a gas intermolecular forces to create perfectly elastic collisions require very high kinetic energy
- high kinetic energy gas =high temperature gas, as kinetic energy and temperature are directly related
- at high temperature, collisions between gas molecules become elastic and the gas is likely to behave ideally
