Unit 3.3 Kinetic Theory (Derivation Gamble) Flashcards
Summarise the main ideas about particles in a solid
(6 things)
- Regular pattern
- Fixed shape & volume
- Particles vibrate in place, low kinetic energy
- No space between particles
- Intermolecular forces = strong,
- they have low potential energy
Summarise the main ideas about particles in a liquid
(7 things)
- No regular pattern
- No fixed shape & volume
- Particles move around each other, med. kinetic energy
- There’s space between particles,
- but are touching
- Intermolecular forces = medium.
- ∴ medium potential energy
Summarise the main ideas about particles in a gas
(5 things)
- No regular pattern/fixed shape/volume
- Particles move fast & free, has high kinetic energy
- Space between particles
- Intermolecular forces are weak [zero],
- they have high potential energy
Define the internal energy (U) of a system?
(3 parts)
- The sum of the random distributions
- of kinetic and potential energies
- of all the molecules in the system
What is an ideal gas?
(2 parts)
- Gas that strictly obeys the equation of state:
- Pv = nRT
What is the ideal gas equation?
(In data booklet)
Pv = nRT
Ideal gas equation in word form?
Pressure x Volume = moles x molar gas constant x temperature
Define P
(ideal gas equation)
Pressure
(Pa)
Define v
(ideal gas equation)
Volume
(m3)
Define n
(ideal gas equation)
Moles
(mol)
Define r
(ideal gas equation) Data booklet
Molar gas constant = 8.31
(J Mol-1 K-1)
Define T
(ideal gas equation)
Kelvins
(K)
How does an ideal gas “strictly” obeys the equation of state PV=nRT?
(3 things)
Must have:
- Negligible vol. of molecules
- Elastic collisions
- No intermolecular forces
Features of an ideal gas?
(2 things)
- No molecular force
- Simply be kinetic energy
Charles law & Boyles law proofs?
Take action if needed
(If u see a question on it, then…)
What is meant by temperature?
(2-way)
- A measure of avg. kinetic energy
- of the particles in a substance
Define absolute zero?
(2-way)
- The temperature of a system when
- it has MINIMUM internal energy
How do u find the value for absolute zero in a graph?
(Refer to page 9 otherwise…)
(3-way)
- rise/run = gradient
- V = mx + c, 0 = mx + c
- -c/m = absolute zero
How to convert Celsius to Kelvins?
(In data booklet kinda)
Add 273.15
How to convert Kelvins to Celsius?
(In data booklet kinda)
Minus 273.15
What are the 3 gas laws?
- Boyle’s law
- Charles’ law
- Pressure law
How can the gas laws only be applied?
For a fixed mass of gas
(n = constant)
Define isothermal
When the temperature is constant
Define isobaric
When the pressure is constant
