The Behavior Of Gases Flashcards
What is the atmosphere made up of
78% nitrogen
21% oxygen
1% other gases
Atmosphere
A thin layer of gas surround the earth
What are the physical properties of a gas?
No def shape or volume. Stretch to fit container.
Compressive
By increasing pressure we decrease volume
Gases have…
Low density and exert pressure on walls of container
Diffusion
Mix spontaneously and completely
Kinetic theory of gases
Gases move all the time, rapidly in all directions. Tiny particles and distances between them are great.
Pressure
The force exerted per unit area
P=F/A
Atmospheric pressure
The force per unit area exert by earths atmosphere
What can atmospheric pressure be measured by?
A barometer
kPa=
Torr=
mmHg=
Atm=
101.3
