week 2 Flashcards
Avogadro’s number
6.023 x 10^23
or 602.3 sextillion
avogadro’s law
“equal volumes of gases at the same temp and pressure contain the same number of molecules regardless of their chemical nature and physical properties”
in other words- volume of gas and number of moles are PROPORTIONAL at a constant temp and pressure.
how many liters did avogadro use for his comparison? in other words, one mole of an ideal gas occupies __ liters at standard temp and pressure
22.4 liters
TWO moles of gaseous n2o occupy what volume under standard conditions?
44.8 liters
the ideal gas law
pressure x volume = the number of moles x the gas constant x temperature
PV=nRT
The ideal vacation law:
Puerto Vallarta = no real temptation
Dalton “summed” it up when he calculated Dalton’s law
the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of all partial pressures of each of the component gases
how do you calculate the partial pressure of a gas mixture if you know it’s percent concentration?
partial pressure = (%concentration / 100) x total pressure
Example- oxygen
(21% / 100 = 0.21) x 760 = 160 mmHg
what is the partial pressure of nitrogen at one atmosphere if n2 is 79% of the atmosphere (1 atmosphere = 760 mmHg)?
partial pressure = (79%/100 = .79) x (total pressure of one atm = 760)
0.79 x 760 = 600 mmHg
the vapor pressure for sevo/iso/halo/des?
157 sevo 238 iso 243 halo 669 des "Have you ever heard of SIHD (Syndrome of Inappropriate Hunger for Desserts / Sevo Iso Halo Des)? Well at my hospital 157% (one hundred fifty 'SEVOn' percent) of patients admitted on 'ISOlation' between 0238 and 0243 (five minute time span, halothane has five molecules) in the morning ate 669 'des'serts after contracting SIHD (Syndrome of Inappropriate Hunger for Desserts / Sevo Iso Halo Des)"
atmospheric pressure
760
a volatile agent is poured into a flask containing 100% oxygen, explain how to calculate the % volatile agent and the % oxygen above the liquid
% volatile agent = (saturated vapor pressure of the volatile / 760 mmHg) x 100
100 - % volatile = % oxygen
the critical temperature is the temp at which (above) you __ __ the gas any longer no matter how much pressure you apply to it
cannot liquefy
the critical temp of nitrous oxide
39.5 C
nitrous is colorless, odorless, non-explosive, and nonflammable, but __
is just as capable as oxygen of supporting combustion
since nitrous at room temp is below its critical temperature (39.5 C) it exists as a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid phase. A full E cylinder of nitrous contains about __ liters, and is filled to a pressure of __ psig
1,590 liters
750 psig
what should you do when the pressure in the nitrous tank drops below 750 psig?
change the tank, because you can’t know how much nitrous is left without weighing the tank.
how much nitrous is left in the tank when the pressure starts to drop?
about 400 Liters
which two gases are in liquid form in pressurized cylinders?
nitrous and carbon dioxide
