Gases
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Pressure | is 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 seconds each second that the force is applied. |
| Barometer | is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure |
| Millimeters of Mercury | Symbolized mm hg |
| Atmosphere of Pressure | is defined as being exactly equivalent to 760 mm Hg. |
| Pascal | ids defined as the pressure exerted by a force of one newton (1 N) acting on an area of one square meter. |
| Partial Pressure | The pressure of each gas in a mixture is called partial pressure of gas |
| Dalton's law of partial pressure | States that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases |
| Boyles Law | The law that states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas increases as the pressure of the gas decereases of the pressure of the gas increases |
| Absolute Zero | The temperature at which all molecular motion stops. |
| Charle's law | The law that states that for a fixed amount of gas of a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases and the volume of the gas decreases as the temperature of the gas decreases., |
| Gay-Lussac's law | The law that states that the volume occupied by a gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. |
| Combined gas law | The relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature of a fixed amount of gas. |
| Avogadro's law | The law that states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules |
| Standard molar volume of a gas | The molar volume of a gas is the volume of one mole of a gas at STP |
| ideal gas law | is defined as one for which both the volume of molecules and forces between the molecules are so small that they have no effect on the behavior of the gas. |
| ideal gas constant | The ideal gas constant is the proportionality constant in the ideal gas equation. |
| Graham's law of effusion | Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. |
