Unit 5:Gases and Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
whats the STP for gases
o degrees Celcius and 1 atm
equation for ideal gas law
PV = nRT, where R = 0.08206 L∙atm∙mol-1K-1
what are each mixture of gas considered?
We can consider each gas in a mixture separately. Each gas in a mixture has an amount (i.e. number of moles) and its own “partial pressure”.
whats the partial pressure of gas in a mixture
The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure exerted by only that gas. The total pressure of the mixture equals the sum of all the partial pressures.
how can you describe a mixture of gases
In the same way, you can describe a mixture of gases in terms of partial pressures. If you have a mixture of oxygen that has a partial pressure of 1 atm and helium that has a partial pressure of 2 atm, the total pressure is 3 atm.
PO2 = 1 atm PHe = 2 atm Ptotal = 3 atm
how does the partial presssure of gas relate to gas inside a container (I probably worded this weird but IDK what I’m doin)
The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure that gas would exert if that amount of the gas were all alone in the container.
Dalton’s law of partial pressures
states that the total pressure in a container equals the sum of the individual pressures:
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + etc….
vapor pressure
The vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure that the gaseous form exerts when the maximum amount of the liquid becomes a gas. The vapor pressure of water at 20 °C is 17.5 torr.
two equations to calculate humidity
humidity= 100%(amount of water in the air/the maximum amount of water that can be in the air)
humidity=100%(partial pressure
of water in the air/vapor pressure of water)
describe solids
definite volume definite shape often ordered high density atoms can vibrate
describe liquids
definite volume indefinite shape not ordered high density atoms can move
describe gases
indefinite volume indefinite shape not ordered low density atoms can move
What is P=F/A
Pressure = force divided by area
kinetic molecular theory
Gases are composed of rapidly moving particles that collide elastically. They create forces when they bump into things.
whats an ideal gas
“Ideal” gas molecules/atoms do NOT:
1) occupy any space 2) attract or repel each other
what causes air pressure
air atoms and molecules bumping into stuff
what does every variable in PV=nRT mean
p-pressure v- volume n- number of moles r- 0.082-6 T- temperature
what does every varibale in L-atm-mol^-1-k^-1 mean
l- liters
atm- atmospheric pressure
mol- moles
k- kelvin’s temp
what is STP used for
used for reference calculations
what does “like dissolve like”mean
things of one group dissolves for things of that same group
