| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Pressure | 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 second each second that the force is applied |
| Barometer | a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. |
| Millimeters of Mercury | the common unit of pressure is millimeters of mercury, symbolized mm Hg. |
| Atmosphere of Pressure | defined as being exactly equivalent to 760 mm Hg. |
| Pascal | 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. |
| 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 is assigned the value of zero on the kelvin temperature scale. |
| Charle's law | 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 | equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal numbers of molecules |
| Standard molar volume of a gas | The volume occupied by one mole of a gas at STP |
| ideal gas law | the mathematical relationship among pressure , volume , 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 | the rates of effusion of gases at the same temperature and pressure are inversely proportional to the square roots to their molar masses. |
