Science Gas Laws Flashcards
-Is the measure of the average kinetic energy of gas particles.
Temperature
-Is the amount of space occupied by the particles.
Volume
-Is the amount of force per unit area.
Pressure
-The pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional, provided the temperature and mass are kept constant.”
Boyle’s Law
-“At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.”
Charles’ Law
-“The pressure of a gas increases as its temperature increases, assuming constant mass and volume.”
Gay-Lussac’s Law
-The three gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’, and Gay-Lussac’s laws) discussed earlier can be combined and may be expressed into one equation, PV/T=K, and expressed as the Combined Gas Law or the general gas law.
-The three properties of gas (pressure, volume, and temperature) usually change at once under experimental conditions.
Combined Gas Laws
-“At constant temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain and equal number of molecules.”
Avogadro’s Laws
-Aside from pressure, volume, and temperature, moles may also be combined to the three properties of gas to establish the relationship among the four variables affecting the behavior of gases
-Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s, and Avogadro’s laws, when combined, constitute the Ideal Gas Law or ideal gas equation
