Unit 8: Gases
Term | Definition |
---|---|
pressure | is defined as the force per unit area on a surface |
Newton | is the force that will increase the speed of a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second each second is applied |
Barometer | is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure |
Millimeters of Mercury | thus, the common unit of pressure is millimeters of mercury, symbolized mm Hg. |
Atmosphere of Pressure | (atm) is defined as being exactly equivalent to 760 mm Hg |
Pascal | is defined as the 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 is called the partial pressure of that gas |
Dalton's law of partial pressure | states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures os the componet gases |
Boyles Law | states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with the pressure at constant temperature |
Absolute Zero | the lowest possible achievable temperature, is assigned the value of zero on the kelvin temperature scale |
Charle's law | states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure 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 temperature in kelvins |
Combined gas law | expresses the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a fixed amount of gas |
Avogadro's law | states the equal volumes of gasses 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 STP is known as the standard molar volume of a gas. It has been found to be 22.414 10 L. |
ideal gas law | is the mathematical relationship among pressure, vokume, temperature, and the number of moles of a gas |
ideal gas constant | in the equation representing the ideal gas law, the constant R is known as the ideal gas constant |
Graham's law of effusion | states that the rates of effusion of gases at the same temperature and pressure are inversly proprtional to the sqaure roots of thier molar masses |
