Why does melting occur
the molecules or ions have absorbed enough energy to break out the rigid structure of the solid
Robert Boyle
Formed a general theory called the kinetic molecular theory that explained the behavior and properties of gases.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
It is based on the motion of particles , particularly gas molecules.
Ideal Gas
a gas that behaves exactly as outlined in the KMT.
When does real gases deviate greatly from ideal behavior?
very high pressure and low temperatures
What are the Principal assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory?
1) gases consist of tiny particles
2) the distance between particles is large compared with the size of the particles themselves.The volume occupied by a gas consist mostly of empty space.
3) gas particles have no attraction for one another
4)gas particles move in straight lines in all directionss, colliding frequently with one another and with the walls of the container.
5) no energy is lost by the collision of a gas particle with another gas particle or with the walls of the container. All collisions are perfectly elastic.
6) the average kinetic energy for particles is the same for all gases at the same temperature, and its value is is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.
The kinetic energy (KE) of a particle is expressed by the equation?
KE=.... 2
...½ mv
In the KE formula the m stands for what?
mass
In the KE formula the v stands for what?
velocity of the particle
All gases have the same what at room temperature
kinetic energy
Diffusion
the ability of two or more gases to mix spontaneously until they form a uniform mixture.
Effusion
process by which gas molecules pass through a very small opening from a container at higher pressure to one at lower pressure.
Thomas Graham
a scottish chemist.He observed that the rate of effusion was dependent on the density of a gas.
Grahams law of effusion
Graham found experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.
Pressure
force per unit area
Gases in the Atmosphere
nitrogen=78%
oxygen=21%
Argon=0.93%
Carbon Dioxide=0.033%
Atmospheric Pressure
exerted by the gases in the atmosphere.
the pressure exerted by a gas depends on what?
1)number of molecules of gas present
2)temperature
3)volume in which the gas is confined
what holds the atmosphere relativly close to the earth and prevents air molecules from flying off into space?
gravitational forces
the atmospheric pressure at any point is due to what?
to the mass of the atmosphere pressing downward at that point
barometer measures what
the pressures of the gases in the atmosphere
atmospheric pressure varies with what
altitude
when the temperature and mass are kept constant the pressure is directly proportional to what
to the number of moles or molecules of gas present
the pressure of a gas in a fixed volume varies with what
temperature
Boyles Law
at a constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure .
when the pressure on a gas is increased, its volume will do what
decrease
when boyle doubled the pressure on a specific quantity of gas, keeping the temperature constant, what happened to the volume
it was reduced to one half the original volume
Charle's Law
french physicist.he found that at constant pressure the volume of a fixed mass of any gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
if the absolute temperature of a gas is doubled what else will double
volume
Gay Lussac's Law
the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas, at constant volume is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.
What is STP used for
to compare volumes of gases, common references points of temperature and pressure.
when the temperature and pressure change at the same time, the new volume may be calculated how
by multiplying the initial volume by the correct ratios of both pressure and temperature
daltons law of partial pressures
the total pressure of a mixure of gases is the sum of the partial pressures exerted by each of the gases in the mixures.
partial pressures
each gas in the mixure exerts a pressure that is independent of the other gases present
gay lussacs law of combining volumes
when measured at the same temperature and pressure the ratio of the volumes of reacting gases are small whole numbers
avogadros law
equal volumesof different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules
molar volume
22.4 L
what is the ideal gas law equation
PV=nRT
what is an allotrope
different molecular forms of an element
concentrations of ozone greater then 0.1 parts per million of air cause what
coughing,choking,headache, fatigue and less resistance to respiratory problems
concentrations between what of ozone are deadly to humans
10 to 20 ppm
