Ideal Gases Flashcards
Ideal Gas
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to intermolecular forces
Elastic collision
a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision
Intermolecular Forces
Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.
Ideal Gas Assumptions
Ideal gasses are in constant motion,
have elastic collisions, volume is negligible compared to its container, have no IMF and Temperature is measured in K and is proportional to kinetic energy
Boyle’s law
P1V1=P2V2
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
273 K and 100.0 kPa
Real gas conditions
low temperature and high pressure
Ideal gas conditions
high temperature and low pressure
Universal Gas Constant units
P in Pa and V in m3
Molar volume of an ideal gas
22.7 dm3
