unit B- topic one Flashcards
gas
substance that fills and assumes the shape of its container
diffuses rapidly
mixes readily with other gases
highly reactive gases
flourine, chlorine and oxygen
not very reactive gases
nitrogen and noble gases
space vaccum
has no pressure
physical properties
gases always fill their containers they have neither shape or volume
increase in pressure =
decrease in volume
increase in volume =
decrease in pressure
how do particles in gas move?
move/diffuse spontaneously, through any space
-in straight lines until they hit something (windows saver)
tempature affects
volume or pressure
tempature also means
how fast the particles are going to be moving
boyels law
volume decreased, pressure increases AS LONG as theres a constant temperature
pressure
force per unit area
smaller area=
greater force (stabbed with a stick)
larger area=
less force (pushed by hands)
kilopascal (kPa)
represents a force of 1000N on an area of 1m^2
mmHg
based on the height mercury rose
-original units for pressure) very inconsistant
general pressure at sea level is…
1 atm
recite the formulas for all units of pressure
1atm = 760mmHg = 101.325kPa (760 torr= 14.70psi)
kinetic molecular theory
everything is in motion
KMT- solids
vibrate around fixed points
KMT- liquids
move around moving points,
KMT- gases
move freely in straight lines, lots of space
atmospheric pressure
pressure exterted by air
stp
standard tempature and pressure
0°C and 1 atm or 101.325 kPa
