Ideal Gases And Molecules Flashcards
Volume
Quantity of 3D space occupied by an object
Pressure
Force per unit area
Temperature
Measurement of the average EK of molecules
What equations links pressure force and area
P= F/A
Pressure increases as force increases and area decreases
Molecules in low temperature
Constant mass
Fixed volume
Molecules in high temperature
Increases EK
More collisions with wall of container
Higher force in each collisions
Molecules when volume is lowered
More collisions against wall of container
Force exerted on sides of the container
Pressure increased
Start of Kelvin scale
-273 degrees
Boyle’s Law
For a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume
How to get kelvin from degrees
Add 273
Gas law
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Movement of pollen grains in Brownian Motion
Random and rapid
Why do pollen grains move on water
The collide with water molecules
How are water molecules moving
Randomly and rapidly
How would pollen grains move in hotter water
More rapidly
