TermDefinition
absolute zero temperature at which the volume of a gas would be zero according to Charles’s law.( -273.15 °C)
Amontons’s law (also, Gay-Lussac’s law) pressure of a given number of moles of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature when the volume is held constant
atmosphere (atm) unit of pressure; 1 atm = 101,325 Pa
Avogadro’s law volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is proportional to the number of gas molecules
bar (bar or b) unit of pressure; 1 bar = 100,000 Pa
barometer device used to measure atmospheric pressure
Boyle’s law volume of a given number of moles of gas held at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure under which it is measured
Charles’s law volume of a given number of moles of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature when the pressure is held constant
compressibility factor (Z) ratio of the experimentally measured molar volume for a gas to its molar volume as computed from the ideal gas equation
Dalton’s law of partial pressures total pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases.
diffusion movement of an atom or molecule from a region of relatively high concentration to one of relatively low concentration (discussed in this chapter with regard to gaseous species, but applicable to species in any phase)
effusion transfer of gaseous atoms or molecules from a container to a vacuum through very small openings
Graham’s law of effusion rates of diffusion and effusion of gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molecular masses
hydrostatic pressure pressure exerted by a fluid due to gravity
ideal gas hypothetical gas whose physical properties are perfectly described by the gas laws
ideal gas constant (R) constant derived from the ideal gas equation R = 0.08226 L atm mol–1 K–1 or 8.314 L kPa mol–1 K–1
ideal gas law relation between the pressure, volume, amount, and temperature of a gas under conditions derived by combination of the simple gas laws
kinetic molecular theory theory based on simple principles and assumptions that effectively explains ideal gas behavior
manometer device used to measure the pressure of a gas trapped in a container
mean free path average distance a molecule travels between collisions
mole fraction (X) concentration unit defined as the ratio of the molar amount of a mixture component to the total number of moles of all mixture components
partial pressure pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture
pascal (Pa) SI unit of pressure; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2
pounds per square inch (psi) unit of pressure common in the US
pressure force exerted per unit area
rate of diffusion amount of gas diffusing through a given area over a given time
root mean square velocity (urms) measure of average velocity for a group of particles calculated as the square root of the average squared velocity
standard conditions of temperature and pressure (STP) 273.15 K (0 °C) and 1 atm (101.325 kPa)
standard molar volume volume of 1 mole of gas at STP, approximately 22.4 L for gases behaving ideally
torr unit of pressure; 1 torr = (1/760) atm
van der Waals equation modified version of the ideal gas equation containing additional terms to account for non- ideal gas behavior
vapor pressure of water pressure exerted by water vapor in equilibrium with liquid water in a closed container at a specific temperature

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
