Q

Name the four parts of the Kinetic Molecular Theory

A
  1. All gases move in random, straight-line motion separated by empty space
  2. Collisions between gas particles will result in a transfer of energy, but the overall energy remains constant. Collisions of particles with container walls cause the pressure exerted by gas.
  3. Volume of an individual particle is approx. 0
  4. Particles exert no forces on each other

30
Q

what unit of temperature must be used for PV = nRT and V/T?

A

Kelvin, convert if Celsius

31
Q

ideal gases/ideal gas model

A

where the volume of the gas particles are negligible and there are no attractive forces between ideal gas particles because of the amount of space between them.

32
Q

under what conditions of temp and pressure would a real gas behave like an idea one?

A

high temperature and low pressure

33
Q

under what conditions will an ideal gas behave like a real one?

A

low temperature and high pressure.

34
Q

what is the formula for density in terms of molar mass and the ideal gas law?

A

D = (MP/RT)
remember- PRESSURE MUST BE IN UNITS OF atm
- TEMP MUST BE KELVIN

35
Q

law of partial pressures

A

in a sealed container with a mixture of different gases, each type of gas exerts it’s own pressure. The pressure exerted by each gas is called partial pressure.

36
Q

how to find total pressure

A

add up all the partial pressures

37
Q

the partial pressure of each gas in a mixture (when you have the total pressure) is dependent on the…

A

number of moles

38
Q

how to find the partial pressure

A
  • multiply the total pressure by the number of moles of the gas you want the pressure of divided by the total number of moles
  • OR plug into original equation and subtract their totals to find it
39
Q

how many torr and mmHg are in 1 atm?

A

40
Q

Avogadro’s Hypothesis

A

normal boiling point

A

the boiling point of a liquid at STP

63
Q

surface tension

A

the resistance of a liquid to increase in its surface area

64
Q

why does surface tension exist/why don’t the molecules of the liquid spread out?

because the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules are stronger than the object that it is attached to.

hydrogen bond

the spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube

67
Q

viscosity

A

the resistance of a liquid to flow

68
Q

what causes viscosity?

A

intermolecular forces of attraction (the stronger the attraction, the more viscous the liquid

69
Q

properties of solids

A
  • definite shape and volume
  • strongest intermolecular forces of attraction
  • particle is located in a fixed position, vibrating
  • have a crystalline structure with geometric patterns when viewed with a microscope
