3rd chem vocab test
study stack for 3rd chemistry vocabulary test (4th 9 weeks)
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Boyle's Law | states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure |
| Absolute Zero | a zero on the Kevin scale that represents the lowest possible theoretical temperature – at this stage the atoms are all in the lowest possible energy state |
| Charles' Law | states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature at constant pressure |
| Gay-Lussac's Law | states that the pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies directly with the Kelvin temperature when the volume remains constant |
| Combined Gas Law | states the relationships between pressure, temperature, and volume of a fixed amount of gas |
| Avogadro's Principle | states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles |
| Molar Volume | the volume that 1 mol occupies at 0.00 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atm pressure |
| Standard Temperature and Pressure | the conditions of 0.00 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atm |
| Ideal Gas Constant | denoted by the symbol R and serves as the proportionality constant in the ideal gas law: PV=nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, and T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin |
| Ideal Gas Law | describes the physical behavior of an ideal gas in terms of the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of gas present |
