Chemistry Unit 5
Unit 5: Gas Laws + Stoichiometry 2
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Kinetic Energy | Energy in motion |
Temperature | A measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance |
Absolute Zero | The temperature at which particles have zero kinetic energy |
Thermal Energy | The sum kinetic energy of a sample of matter (more partial motion if there is more energy added) |
Heat | An energy transfer due to a temperature difference (heat always transfers from high to low temperature) |
Pressure | Force per unit area |
Gas Pressure | Depends on the number of collisions between gas molecules and the walls of their container |
Atmosphere | atm |
Boyle's Gas Law | Volume and pressure are inversely proportional at constant temperature (P1V1=P2V2) |
Charles' Gas Law | Volume and absolute temperature are directly proportional at constant pressure (V1/T1=V2/T2, must be measured in Kelvin) |
The Ideal Gas Law | PV=nRT |
Avogadro's Law | The volume of any gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas (at constant temp. and pressure) (V1/n1=V2/n2) |
P | Pressure (atm) of gas |
V | Volume of container (liters) |
n | Moles (mol) of gas |
R | Universal gas law constant (0.0821 L x atm/mol x K) |
T | Temperature (Kelvin) of gas |
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) | P = 1 atm, T = 273.15 |
Moles | Mass/molar mass, m/Mr=n, Mr=mRT/PV |
Density | mass/volume, d=m/v, d=Mr x P/RT |
Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) | Gases consist of tiny particles in constant, random motion |
SI Unit | Pa (Pascal) - measured with barometer |
Directly Proportional | both quantities increase together |
Inversely Proportional | one quantity increases, while the other decreases |
Fahrenheit | T°F = T°C x (9/5) + 32 |
Kelvin | TK = T°C + 273.15 |
