Molecular Composition of Gases Flashcards
Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes of Gases
states that, at constant temperature and pressure, volumes of gaseous reactants and products can be expressed as ratios of small whole numbers
Avogadro’s Law
states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules
standard molar volume of a gas
22.4 L
ideal gas law
mathematical relationship among pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas
ideal gas law equation
PV = nRT
ideal gas constant
R
- 4 (L × torr) ∕ (mol × K)
- 0821 (L × atm) ∕ (mol × K)
- 314 (L × kPa) ∕ (mol × K)
Graham’s Law of Effusion
states that the rates of effusion of gases at the same temperature and pressure are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses
molar volume
Vm
volume occupied by 1mol of substance
