KTG Flashcards
Boyle’s Law
Volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure (PV = K)
Charles’ Law
Between volume and temperature at constant pressure (V proportional T)
Gay Lussac’s Law
Between Pressure and temperature (P proportional to T)
Derive Perfect gas equation
PV = nRT
PV = kNT
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Value of R
8.31J / mole
Value of k
1.38 * 10^-23
Explain R - P graph
- For ideal gas R = 8.31 and is constant
- For real gases, higher temperature = lower R value
- Higher P = Higher R value
Explain P V graph
- For ideal gas PV curve more to the right (Predicted by Boyle’s Law)
Explain TV graph
- Higher P has higher value of graph
- Explained by Charles’ Law
Postulates of KTG
- All gases consist of molecules
- Size of molecules negligible compared with distance between
- Molecules in state of continuuous random motion
- Molecules collide with one another
- Collisions are perfectly elastic (no forms of attraction)
- Between two collisions a molecule moves in a straight path
- Collisions are almost instanteous
- Density remains uniform throughout
Expression for pressure exerted by gas
P = 1/3 * ro * v^2
Note: v here is mean v or rms v
Derive it
Relation between pressure and KE per unit volume
P = 2/3 * avg KE per unit volume
Relation between P and KE
PV = 2/3 * avg KE
Vrms in terms of density
v = root (3P / ro)
Formula of energy for gas
E = 3/2 RT {For one mole}
E = 3/2 kT {Per molecule}
v rms formula (in terms of R)
v rm = root (3RT / M)
How to calculate pressure in a mercury tube
