| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| diffusion | spontaneous mixing of the particles of two substances caused by their random motion |
| effusion | a process by which gas partially pass through a tiny opening |
| elastic collision | a collision between gas particles and between gas particles and container walls in which there is no net loss of kinetic energy |
| fluid | a substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container; a liquid or gas |
| ideal gas | an imaginary gas that perfectly fits the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory |
| kinetic-molecular theory | a theory based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion |
| real gas | a gas that does not behave completely according to the assumption of the kinetic molecular theory |
| atmosphere of pressure (atm) | exactly equivalent |
| barometer | a device used to measure atmospheric pressure |
| millimeter of mercury (mm of Hg) | a common unit of pressure |
| newton | the SI unit for force; the force that will increase the speed of a one kilogram mass by one merer per second |
| pascal | the pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter |
| kilopascal | is a unit for measureing pressure |
| pressure | the force per unit area of a surface |
| standard temperature and pressure (STP) | the agreed upon standard conditions of exactly 1 atm pressure and 0 C |
| standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP) | corresponds to 25C, 1 bar |
| torr | non-SI unit with the ratio of 760 to 1 standard atmosphere |
| absolute zero | the temperature -273.15 C, given a value of zero in the kelvin scale |
| Kelvin | temperature scale used in chemistry and physics |
| Boyle’s Law | the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with pressure at a constant temperature |
| Charles’s Law | the volume of a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure varies directly with the Kelvin temperature |
| Combined gas law | the relationship between the pressure,volume, and temperature of a fixed amount of a gas |
| Dalton’s Law of partial pressure | the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases |
| Gay-Lusscac’s Law | the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at a constant volume varies directly with the kelvin temperature |
| Ideal gas law | an imaginary gas that perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory |
| Partial pressure | the pressure of each gas in a mixture |
| Avogadro’s Law | equal volumes if gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules |
| van der Waals equation | An equation of state that relates the pressure, volume, and absolute temperature of a gas taking into account the finite size of molecules, and their intermolecular attraction |
| bar | a unit of pressure equal to 100 kilopascals |
| Gas Constant | a constant, equal to 8.314 joules per Kelvin or 1.985 calories per degree Celsius, that is the constant proportionality in equation Pressure x Volume is n x R x Temperature, relating the pressure and volume of a quantity of gas to the absolute temperature |
