Unit 3 Flashcards
4 physical properties of gases
Highly compressible
Infinity miscible
(Infinity form a homogeneous mixture)
Thermally expandable
Low density
Why does a gas exert pressure on its environment
Because the molecules are in constant motion
Pressure formula and what is it measured in
P= Force/area
Measured in N/m^2 = 1 Pa
What is boyles law and formula
At constant temp (and moles) pressure is inversely proportional to volume
P1V1 = P2V2
What is Charles’s law and formula
At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temp
V1/T1 = V2/T2
What is avagadro’s law and formula
At constant temp and pressure, volume is directly proportional to the number of moles
V1/n1 = V2/n2
Small n equation
n = m/M
Gas density formula
d = m/V
Total pressure formula
Pt = Pa + Pb + Pc
Mole fraction formula
Xa = na/n total
What is the mole fraction also equal to
Pa/P Total
Do gas particles have kinetic and potential energy
And why
Only kinetic
Particles are in continuous random motion and have no inter particle forces
Do gas particles have attraction or repulsion
No
Gases are made up of particles with no defined _____
And why
Volume
Particle size is so small compared to the distance separating them so it’s negligible
Why does the total energy remain CONSTANT
Collisions are elastic
When is the average kinetic energy the same, regardless of the gas
When the temp is the same
Formula for kinetic energy of one particle of gas
1/2 mu ^2
Average kinetic energy for one mole of particles formula
K = (Na)(1/2)mu^-2
Average kinetic energy with respect to RT
k = (3/2) RT
What is Urms and what’s the formula for it
Root mean speed
Urms = sqrt (3RT/M)
M is in kg/mol
