Sci 2 Flashcards
What is a mixture that looks like a single substance called?
solution
During what two centuries was the behavior of gases heavily explored?
seventeenth and eighteenth
What is Boyle’s law?
The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the number of gas molecules and the temperature remain constant
Charles’s law
at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is proportional to its absolute temperature
At what temperature (celsius) does zero volume occur?
-273
At what temperature is absolute 0?
0 k (-273 c)
What equation combines Boyle’s and Charles’ laws?
PV/T=CD
What interest primarily motivated Jacques Charles?
hot air balloons
What Anglo-Irish chemist’s work did Jacques Charles study?
Robert Boyle
What did Charles use to fuel balloon flight?
Hydrogen
What two engineers did Charles work with for his first balloon?
Anne-Jean and Nicolas-Louis Robert
When was the first hydrogen-powered balloon launched?
August 27 1783

December 1, 1783
Who was on board the first manned balloon flight?
Charles and Nicolas-Louis Robert
Why did Charles stop balloon flights?
ear pain
What was the hydrogen balloon known as?
Charliere
What is Jacques Charles best known for?
work with gases
Who credited Charles with discovering Charles’s Law?
Joseph-Louis Gay Lussac
How could the relationship between moles and pressure be described?
Directly proportional
What are the four assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory of gases?
The actual volume of gas volumes is negligible, molecules are all moving, but at different speeds, no attraction or repulsion exists between one molecule and another, gas pressure results from collisions of molecules with the walls of the container
Using the assumptions of the KMT, what equation gives force?
F=mu^2/l, where m is mass, u is speed towards wall, and l is length (meters)
What does Force/area equal?
pressure
What does the molecular theory of matter suggest as the determinant of matter states?
number of molecules
Avogadro’s Law
Equal volumes of an ideal gas contain equal numbers of particles
Avogadro’s Law conclusion
volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas
What is the mole based on?
number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12
What is Avogadro’s number?

In what year was Avogadro’s number estimated by Perrin?
1909
What did Avogadro propose that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to?
number of moles of a gas
What was the original definition of a mole?
number of molecules in a volume of 22.4 liters at 1 atmosphere and 273 K
What would be the mass of one of Avogadro’s number of helium atoms?
4 grams
What is helium’s molar mass?
4 g/mol
What is the molar mass of methane?
16 g/mol
