Topic 1- Gases Flashcards
pressure definition
the amount of force applied to an area
a decrease in volume will _______ the pressure
increase
heat and cold will ______ to volume
heat- expand
cold- decrease
when we are comparing what do we need to do
do it over 1/2 and isolate
density of a gas formula
d= molar mass x pressure/ RT
molar mass of a gas
molar mass= mass x RT/ PV
pressure from density
-Multiply both sides of the equation by 𝑅×𝑇 to eliminate the denominator
Density x R𝑇=MolarMass×Pressure
-Divide both sides by
MolarMass to isolate
𝑃=Density×𝑅×𝑇/MolarMass
total pressure is
the some of all partial pressures
mole fraction
moles of compound A/ total moles
partial pressure
mole fraction x total pressure
to go from L to mol to G what is the first step
use PV=nRT and rearrange formula
U rms definition
speed at which a molecule whose kinetic energy is equal to the mean kinetic energy of all molecules
urms formula
square root of 3 x RT/ molar mass
-RT is 8.314
-molar mass is in kg
vanderwals equation of a and b meaning
a- measure of attraction strength
b- measure of the finite volume occupied by molecules
