Kinetic Theory And Gases Flashcards
What does kinetic theory state
Everything is made of tiny particles
What is temperature a measure of
The average kinetic energy in a gas
What causes pressure of a gas
The amount of ke in the particles of the gas. The greater the ke, the more they’re moving so they collide more often and harder with the container they’re within causing an outwards force on it, pressure
What is the unit of pressure and sign
Pascals, 1Pa = 1N/m^2
What is the coldest temperature in Celsius and kelvin and why isn’t there lower
Abosolute 0 and is -273C or 0K. Can’t get colder as it is the temperature of where particles have 0 Ke, so 0 energy therefore can’t get colder
What is the relationship between kelvin and pressure
Directly proportional, double one the other also doubles
How do you convert kelvin to Celsius and Celsius to kelvin
Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273 from the kelvin
Celsius to kelvin, add 273 to the Celsius
What is the pressure, volume temperature equation
(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2
What are the rules of the equation
If one of the variables are constant, remove it from the equation
Temperature is always in K and volume in M^2, pressure can be any measurement of pascals
