Standard temperature and pressure (STP)
|
0⁰ C and 1 atm
|
|
Mean free path
|
The distance traveled by a gas molecule between collisions
|
|
Ideal gas law
|
PV = nRT
R = 0.08206 L atm/ K^-1 mol^-1 R = 8.314 J K^-1 mol^-1 T in Kelvin |
|
At STP one mole of any gas (behaving ideally) will occupy the
|
standard molar volume of 22.4 liters
|
|
Partial pressure
|
Total pressure of a gaseous mixture times the mole fraction of the particular gas. Pₐ = αₐ P(total)
|
|
Dalton's law
Total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each of its gases |
P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃...
|
|
Average translational kinetic energy
|
KE(avg) = (3/2)RT
|
|
Grahams law
Average speed of molecules of a pure gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of the gas molecule |
(v₁/v₂) = √m₁ /√m₂
|
|
Effusion
|
The spreading of gas from high pressure to very low pressure (through a pinhole)
|
|
Rates of effusion
|
(effusion rate₁/ effusion rate₂) = √M₂ /√M₁
M = molecular weight |
|
Diffusion
|
The spreading of one gas into another gas or into empty space
|
|
Real vs. Ideal
|
V (real) > V (ideal)
P (real) < P (ideal) |
|
Kinetics
|
The rate of reaction as it moves toward equilibrium
|
|
Thermodynamics
|
The balance of reactants and products after they have achieved equilibrium
|
|
Activation energy
|
The threshold energy required in a collision to create new molecules
|
|
Elementary reaction
Occurs in a single step Rate Law |
aA + bB → cC + dD
rate(forward) = kf [A]^α[B]^β α + β = overall order of the reaction α = a β = b |
|
Intermediates
|
Species that are products of one reaction and reactants of a later reaction in a reaction chain
|

|
|
Chemical equilibrium
|
The forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction rate
|
|
Le Chatelier's principle
|
When a system at equilibrium is stresses, the system will shift in a direction that will reduce stress
