Gases
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Pressure | force per unit area on a surface |
Newton | force that will increase the speed of a one-kilogram mass by one mps each second that the force is applied |
Barometer | device used to measure atmospheric pressure |
Millimeters of Mercury | the common unite of pressure, symbolized mm Hg |
Atmosphere of Pressure | exactly equivalent to to 760mm Hg |
Pascal | pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter |
Partial Pressure | the pressure of each gas in a mixture |
Dalton's law of partial pressure | the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases |
Boyles Law | the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with the pressure at constant temperature |
Absolute Zero | the lowest possible achievable temperature |
Charle's law | the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies directly with the temperature in kelvins |
Gay-Lussac's law | the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume varies directly with the temp in kelvin |
Combined gas law | expresses the relationship between pressure volume, and temp of a fixed amount of gas |
Avogadro's law | equal volumes of gases at the same temp and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules |
Standard molar volume of a gas | the volume occupied by one mole of a gas at STP, being 22.414 10L |
ideal gas law | is the mathematical relationship among pressure, volume, temp, and the number of moles of a gas |
ideal gas constant | representing the ideal gas law, the constant R |
Graham's law of effusion | the rates of effusion of gases at the same temp and pressure are inversely proportional to the square roots of thier molar mass |
