Unit 2: Gases, Liquids, and Solids Flashcards
pressure
the force exerted by a gas on a container
what are the four units of pressure? Which two are honors level?
- mmHg
- torr
- atm
- kPa
Name the three characteristics of a gas
- uniformly fills any container
- mixes completely with any other gas
- exerts pressure on it’s surroundings
the amount of pressure exerted is dependent on the…
kinetic energy of the particles
Name the four parts of the Kinetic Molecular Theory
- All gases move in random, straight-line motion separated by empty space
- 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.
- Volume of an individual particle is approx. 0
- Particles exert no forces on each other
real gases have…
volume, mass, and have an attraction for other particles.
under what conditions of pressure and temperature do you have to correct for ideal gas behavior?
low temperature and high pressure
what is vanderwaal’s equation
corrected pressure x corrected volume = nRT
what is the purpose of vanderwaal’s equation?
to correct real gases to give the exact pressure and volume of an ideal gas.
what is the universal or ideal gas law?
PV = nRT
what is the expression for corrected pressure?
observed pressure minus ‘a’ times (‘n’ divided by volume)^2
what is the expression for corrected volume?
the observed volume minus ‘n’ times ‘b’
what is the constant ‘a’ from vanderwaal’s equation related to?
related to pressure, specific to that gas
what is the constant b related to?
related to the attraction between molecules, also specific to the gas.
what does ‘n’ stand for?
the number of moles
what does ‘M’ stand for?
GFM, i.e. gram formula mass, molar mass… etc.
what is the “formula” for pressure?
force/area
when temperature increases, KE increases, and pressure…
increases
effective collision
a collision that creates a new product (some collisions are not strong/direct enough to break bonds and change the structure of the particles)
What does GFM stand for? What are some other names for it?
gram formula mass
- molecular mass
- formula weight
- molar mass
what are the units for GFM?
grams per mole (g/mol)
what is the ‘state’ of a gas?
the condition of the gas at a given time
what is the universal/ideal gas law and what is it used for?
PV = nRT, an equation of state for a gas
are moles applicable to sig figs??
NOO
formula for moles?
grams of substance / GFM of substance
what is a hydrate?
a substance where water is part of the equation, connected with a not-multiplication sign.
anhydrate?
version of a hydrate with the water removed.
what unit of pressure MUST be used with the ideal gas law?
atm. If it is kPa, CONVERT IT
