The Gas Phase
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the law that leads to the Kelvin temperature scale is | Charles' law. |
| pressure | the force per unit area exerted on an object |
| P = | F/A |
| 1.000 atm = | 101.3 kPa = 760.0 mm Hg = 760.0 torre |
| millimeters of mercury | mm Hg |
| barometer | measures the pressure of the atmosphere |
| atm | abbreviation for atmosphere, varies a bit, depending on the weather conditions |
| Robert Boyle | IRISH Scientist, mid-1600s, determined that the product of a gas's VOLUME & its PRESSURE is always the same, PV=constant |
| Boyle's law | when the VOLUME of a gas is INCREASED, the PRESSURE will DECREASE |
| Jacque Charles | FRENCH scientist, late 1700, found that when a gas's TEMP is raised under constant pressure, the VOLUME increases |
| Charles' law | at constant pressure, the temperature & volume of a gas are proportional |
| extrapolation | following an established trend in the data even though there is no data available for that region |
| A careful scientist will make ONLY | SMALL extrapolations based on LARGE sets of data. |
| When using any equation in this module, you must always use | the Kelvin temperature scale. |
| The combined gas law combines | Boyle's law and Charles' s law. |
| (P1 * V1) / T1 = | (P2 * V2) / T2 |
| PV/T = constant | Combined gas law |
| Standard temperature and pressure (STP) | temp= 273 K, pressure=1.00 atm |
| An IDEAL GAS is a gas with | a temperature close to or greater than 273 K and a pressure less than or equal to 1.00 atm |
| Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures | When 2 or more ideal gases are mixed together, the total pressure of the mixture is EQUAL to the SUM of the pressures of each individual gas |
| The pressure of an ideal gas does NOT | depend on the IDENTITY of the gas. It depends on the QUANTITY of that gas. |
| vapor pressure | the pressure exerted by the vapor that sits on top of any liquid |
| The vapor pressure of any liquid | INCREASES with increasing temperature. |
| boiling point | temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to normal atmospheric pressure |
| mole fraction | always used in the context of a mixture |
| the ideal gas law | PV=nRT |
| ideal gas constant | R=0.0821[(L)(atm)]/[(mole)(K)) |
