UNIT FIVE Flashcards
kinetic-molecular theory of gases
particles of matter are always in motion
ideal gas
imaginary gas that perfectly fits all assumptions of kinetic-molecular theory
assumptions of kinetic-molecular theory
1) gases consist of many tiny particles that are far apart
2) collisions between gas particles, particles, container walls are elastic (no net loss of kinetic energy)
3) in constant, rapid motion
4) no forces of attraction/repulsion between particles
5) average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature (KE=1/2 mass x speed)
expansion
fills container
fluidity
gas particles slide easily due to few attractive forces
low density
particles very far apart
compressibility
initially far apart can be pushed together
diffusion
spontaneous mixing of particles of 2 substances caused by random motion and depends on particle speed, diameter, attractive forces
effusion
process where gas particles under pressure pass through tiny openings and is directly proportional to particle velocity
barometer
measures atmospheric pressure
Boyle’s Law
P1V1 = P2V2
Charles’ Law
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Gay-Lussac’s Law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Combined Law
(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2
Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
Avogadro’s Law
equal volume of gases at the same temperature and pressure has the same number of molecules
