Chapter 11 Vocabulary: The Behavior of Gases

QuestionAnswer
Avogadro's Hypothesis Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles.
Boyle's Law For a fixed mass of gas atconstanttemperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure.
Charles's Law The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportionalto its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant.
Combined Gas Law A relationship describing the behaviorof gases that combines Boyle's law, Charles' law, and GayLussac's law.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures At constant volume and temperature, the total presure ofa mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressuresof all the gases present.
Diffusion The tendency of molecules and ions to move toward areas of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform througout the system.
Effusion A process that occurs when a gas escapes through a tiny hole in its container.
Graham's Law of effusion The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the squareroot of its formula mass; this relationship is also true for the diffusion of gases.
Ideal Gas Constant A term in the ideal gas law, which has the valuse 8.31 (LxkPa)/(Kxmol)
Ideal Gas Law The relationship PxV=nxRxT, which descrives the behavior of an ideal gas.
Partial Pressure The pressure exerted by each gas in a gaseous mixture.

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.
