Gas laws
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Gases exist as completely ______ molecules | seperate |
| Gases are composed of mostly _________ ________ | empty space |
| Gas particles are in __________ random line motion | continuous |
| What do molecular collisions create? | Pressure |
| ______ between gas molecules are elastic | collisions |
| What does elastic mean? | No loss of energy |
| What does an increase in temperature result in ? | An increase in molecular motion, an increase pressure, an an increase in volume |
| How do gas molecules do in any container they occupy | They completly fill an container they occupy |
| Ideal gases | theoretical gases that have no intermolecular forces of attraction |
| Real gases | Actual gases that have intermolecular forces of attraction |
| Ideal gases have no _____ | volume |
| Independent variable | The variable changed by the experimenter |
| Dependent variable | The variable measured by the experimenter |
| Control variables | quantinites held constant during the experiment |
| Volume | space occupied by a gas sample (Measured in L or mL) |
| Temperature | Average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas sample (Measured in K) |
| Pressure | A force caused by the molecular collisions in a sample gas ((Measured in ATM, kPa, mmHg, or torr) |
| Gay-Lussacs laws | An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure due to molecular collisions (direct relationship), volume must be held constant |
| The number of ____ and ______ in a sample reamains unchanged | Molecules and Mass (Closed system) |
| Boyles law | As volume increases, pressure decreases (Inverse relationship), temperature must be held constant |
| Charles law | As temperature increases, volume increases (direct relationship), pressure must be held constant |
| Gas law formula | p1v1/t1 = p2t2/t2 (cross out anything that is held constant) |
| Avogadro's law (Volume-Mole relationship) | Under similar conditions, equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of molecules (If conditions are not the same us Boyles law and Charles law to convert to similar conditions) |
| What is 1 ATM equal to? | 760 mmhg (millimeters of mercury) |
