What special properties do gases have that liquids and solids do not?
|
Gas molecules are free to move around and will take up the size and shape of its container.
|
|
In order to have an idea of the amount of matter in a gas sample, what do u need to know?
|
the temperature and pressure of the gas
|
|
What type of units is forced measured in (chemistry)?
|
Kilopascals (kPa)
millimeters of mercury (mm of Hg) atmospheres (atm) |
|
What is standard atmospheric pressure in each of the 3 units of pressure?
|
101.3 kPa; 760 mm of Hg; or 1.0 atm
|
|
What temperature scale is used in doing math problems involving gases?
|
Kelvin
|
|
Why must we use the Kelvin scale?
|
the celcius scale can result in negative numbers
|
|
What is the formula for converting Celsius temperatures to Kelvin?
|
K= C+273
|
|
What is standard temperature?
|
273 K or 0 celcius
|
|
What does STP stand for?
|
standard temperature and pressure
|
|
Summarize Boyle's Law
|
The volume of a sample of gas is inversly proportional to its pressure, if the temperature remains constant.
|
|
What does this mean?
|
As the pressure increases the volume of a gas decreases. As the pressure decreases, the volume of a gas increases.
|
|
What is the formula for Boyle's Law?
|
P1V1=P2V2
|
|
Summarize Charles' law
|
the volume of a quantity of gas, held at constant pressure, varies directly with the kelvin temperature
|
|
What does this mean (Charles)
|
as the temperature increases, the volume increases. AS the temp decreases the volume decreases
|
|
What is the formula for Charles's law?
|
V1/T1=V2/T2
|
|
What is the formula for the Combined Gas law?
|
V2=V1P1T2/P2T1
