Term
Definition
Boyle's Law   For a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas caries inversely with pressure  
🗑
Charle's Law   The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant  
🗑
Combined Gas Law   The law that describes the relationship among the pressure, temperature of an enclosed gas  
🗑
Compressibility   A measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure  
🗑
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures   At constant volume and temperature, 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 toward areas of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout  
🗑
Effusion   The process that occurs when a gas escapes through a tiny hole in its container  
🗑
Gay-Lussac's Law   The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature if the volume is constant  
🗑
Graham's Law of Effusion   The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass  
🗑
Ideal Gas Constant   The constant in the ideal gas law with the symbol R and the value 8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol)  
🗑
Ideal Gas Law   The relationship PV=nRT, which describes the behavior of an ideal gas  
🗑
Partial Pressure   The contribution each gas in a mixture of gases makes to the total pressure  
🗑
Kinetic Theory   A theory explaining the states of matter, based on the concept that all matter consists of tiny particles that are in constant motion  
🗑


   

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.
