Chapter 14: The behavior of Gases

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Why are gases easier to compress than solids or liquids?   because gases are easily compressed due to the space between particles.  
🗑
What is compressibility?   a measure of how much the volume decreases under pressure.  
🗑
What does Boyle's law state?   for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure.  
🗑
How are the temperature and volume of a gas related?   as the temperature of an enclosed gas increases, the volume increased if the pressure is constant.  
🗑
Charles's Law:   the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant.  
🗑
Gay-Lussacs' Law:   the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature if the volume remains constant.  
🗑
Combined gas law:   a law that combines Boyle's, Charles's and Gay-Lussac's laws.  
🗑
Ideal gas constant (R):   has the value 8.31 (L x Pa)(K x mol)  
🗑
Ideal gas law:   P,V,T and n .  
🗑
Partial pressure:   the contribution each gas in a mixture makes to the total pressure.  
🗑
Dalton's law of partial pressures:   at constant volume and temperatures, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases.  
🗑
Diffusion:   the tendency of molecules to move towards areas of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout.  
🗑
Effusion:   gas escapes through a tiny hole in its container.  
🗑
Graham's law of effusion:   the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the gas's molar mass.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
