Gases
Term | Definition |
---|---|
pressure | Defined as the force per unit area on a surface |
Newton | the force that will increase the speed of a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second each second that the force is applied |
Barometer | Device used to measure atmospheric pressure |
Millimeters of mercury | common unit of pressure using mmHg |
Atmosphere of Pressure | exactly equivalent to 760 mmHg |
Pascal | pressure exerted by force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter |
Partial Pressure | the pressure if each gas in a mixture |
Dalton's law of partial pressure | total pressure of the gas mixture is the sum of partial pressure of the component gases. |
Boyles Law | the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with the pressure at constant pressure |
Absolute Zero | the lowest possible achievable temperature, is assigned the value of zero on the kelvin temperature scale |
Charle's law | the volume of fixed mass of a constant pressure varies directly with the temperature in kelvins |
Gay-Lussac's law | volume occupied by a gas at constant a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. |
Combined gas law | the relationship between the pressure, and temperature of a fixed amount of gas |
Avogadro's law | equal volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules |
Standard molar volume of a gas | the volume occupied by one mole of a gas at STP |
ideal gas law | mathmatical relationship of pressure is PV= nRT |
ideal gas constant | the porportionality constant that appears in the equation of state for 1 mole of an ideal gas |
Graham's law of effusion | the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportionally to square the root of the gas's density |
