Test 4: Gases Lecture 1 Flashcards
5 Components of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
1 - Gases consist of many particles moving at random
2 - The amount of space occupied by the gas particles themselves is much smaller
than the amount of space between the particles
3 – Gas particles do not have appreciable attractive or repulsive forces between
them
4 – The average kinetic energy of gas particles is proportional to the temperature
5 – Collisions of gas particles are elastic
The amount of __occupied by the gas particles themselves is much __than the
amount of __between the particle
space; smaller; space
Gases consist of many particles moving __
at random
Gas can be contained into a small volume because it is __
highly compressible
Gas particles do not have appreciable attractive or repulsive forces between them because __
the particles are too far apart from one another
Average kinetic energy is proportional to the __
temperature
Collisions of gas particles are elastic, meaning that
no energy is gained or lost in the collision, only transferred.
Measurements of gas
pressure, volume and temperature
Symbol for pressure
Capital letter “P”
Pressure
The force exerted on an area
Unit of measurement for gases
Hg (Torr) and atm
atm
atmospheric pressure on earth
1 atm=__mm Hg
760 mm Hg
Volume (V)
measure of total space occupied.
Standard unit of Volume (V)
Liter/ mL
