Chemistry, Chapter 14

Front 1

Boyle's Law

Back 1

For a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure

Front 2

Charles' Law

Back 2

The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant

Front 3

Combined Gas Law

Back 3

The law that describes the relationship among the pressure, temperature, and volume of an enclosed gas

Front 4

Compressibility

Back 4

A measure of how much the volume of mater decreases under pressure

Front 5

Dalton's Law of partial pressures

Back 5

At constant volume and temperature, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases

Front 6

Diffusion

Back 6

The tendency of molecules to move toward areas of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout.

Front 7

Effusion

Back 7

The process that occurs when a gas escapes through a tiny hole in its container

Front 8

Gay-Lussac's Law

Back 8

The pressure of a gas is directly proportioned to the Kelvin temperature if the volume is constant.

Front 9

Graham's Law of Effusion

Back 9

The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass; this relationship is also true for the diffusional of gases

Front 10

Ideal Gas Constant

Back 10

Tje constantin the ideal gas law with the symbol R and the value 8.31

Front 11

Ideal Gas Law

Back 11

The relationship PV = nRT, which describes the behavior of an ideal gas

Front 12

Partial Pressure

Back 12

The contribution each gas in a mixture of gases makes to the total pressure
