Q

Avogadro’s law

A

equal volumes of gases measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules

25
Q

for Gay-Lusaac’s law of combining volumes and avogadro’s law, does it have to be stp?

A

no just the same temperature and pressure, not just standard

A

volumes of gases

27
Q

first words of Avogadro’s law

A

equal volumes of gases

28
Q

The combined gas law // the general gas law

A

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 temperature and pressure

29
Q

what does the combined gas law // the general gas law come from

A

boyle’s and charles’ laws

30
Q

where does avogadro’s law come from

A

Gay-Lusaac’s law of combining volumes

31
Q

5 assumptions made by the kinetic theory of gases about gases

A
  1. their particles are widely separated, their volume is mostly empty space and do not occupy much space
  2. their particles are in constant random motion colliding with each other and walls of the container
  3. the collisions are elastic, no loss of energy as a result
  4. their particles are independent of each other. no attractive forces between them
  5. the average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature
32
Q

3 reasons why ideal gases do not exist

A

+ there are attractive forces (VdW)
+ the amount of space occupied is significant especially under high pressure
+ collisions are not all perfectly elastic as energy can be lost to surroundings

33
Q

ideal gas

A

a gas that obeys all gas laws at all temperatures and pressures

34
Q

when do real gases come closest to ideal behaviour

A

at low pressures and at high temperatures

35
Q

under normal conditions

A

real gases behave similarly to ideal gases

36
Q

3 reasons why real gases depart from ideal behaviour

A

+ there are forces of attraction between molecules
+ the amount of space occupied is significant especially under high pressure
+ collisions are not all perfectly elastic as energy can be lost to surroundings

37
Q

the equation of state for an ideal gas

A

PV = nRT

38

53
Q

DETERMINING THE Mr OF A VOLATILE LIQUID USING A GAS SYRINGE

after propanone is in syringe and mass recorded

A

push the hypodermic syringe through the rubber cap and inject half of the propanone in

54
Q

DETERMINING THE Mr OF A VOLATILE LIQUID USING A GAS SYRINGE

once propanone has been injected into the setup

A

note the plunger of the graduated cylinder moving out and note the new volume reading
