Section 5.3- The Gas Laws Flashcards
the first careful research about the relationship between volume and pressure was done in the 1660s by
Robert Boyle
says that at constant temperature for a given amount of gas, volume varies inversely with pressure
Boyle’s law
equation for Boyle’s law
V= k* 1/P or PV=k
Boyle’s law can also be stated in another way using just pressure and volume
P1V1=P2V2
studied the effect of temperature on the volume of gas
Jacques Charles
when working with relationships between temperature and volume, you must convert ___________ temperature to an _______________
Celsius
absolute scale
states that the volume of a given amount of a gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
Charle’s Law
equation for Charle’s law
V= kT or V/T=k or V1/T1=V2/T2
Charle’s law only applies to
gases
held constant with Boyle’s law
temperature
constant in Charle’s law
pressure
combined gas law (combo of Boyle’s law and Charle’s law) (neither pressure or temp held k)
PV/T = K
or
P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2
is defined as 0 C and 1 atm
standard temperature and pressure
found that when gases reacted, their reacting volumes, measured at the same temperature and pressure, were in a ratio of small numbers
Gay-Lussac
when measured at the same temperature and pressure, the ratios of the volumes of gases that react or that are formed as products are small whole numbers
Gay-Lussac’s law of combining volumes
