The Gas Phase Flashcards
Gases are classified as fluid because they…
can flow into and tke the shape of whatever container
Gasses are different from liquids as…
very low intermolecular forces between gas particles
molecules move very rapidly and are far apart
and compressible
1 atm =
760 torr
760 mmHg
101.325 kPa
Sphygamomanometers
medical devices which meaure blood pressure
How Barometers Work
atmospheric pressure creates downward force on mercury which exerts upward force creating a vacumn
when air exerts greater force than weight of mercury, it goes up
when air exerts lesser force than weight of mercury, it goes down
STP vs Standard State
1 atm 273 K
1 atm, 273K , 1 M
Ideal Gas
a gas whose molecules have no inter molecular forces and occupy no volume
real gases deviate from this at high/low pressures (low/high volumes)
Ideal Gas Law
PV=nRT
R = 8.21*10^-2
Ideal Gas Law With Density
p = m/V = PM/RT
Combined Gas Law
used to relate changes in temperature, volume and pressure.
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Determining Molar Mass of Gas at STP
1) Determine mass of sample at the given temp/pressure
2) Find density of sample given the volume
3) find volume at STP using combined gas law and STP conditions
4) Density at STP is sample mass divided by volume at STP found
5) find molar mass by multiplying the density calculated and volume of STP of 1 mole gas ( 22.4 L/mol)
mm = p STP * 22.4 L/mol
Avogadro Principle
all gases at constant temperature and pressure occupy volumes that are directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present
n/V = k or n1/v1 = n2/V2
Boyles Law
P1V1 = P2V2 pr PV = k
gas sample held at constant temperature (isothermal) volume is inversely proportional to its pressure
Boyles Law Isothermal Compression
As pressure increases, volume decreases
Charles Law
at constant pressure (and moles), the colume of a gas is proportional to its temperature in kelvin
V1/T1 = V2/T2
