Question
Answer
Diffusion   Spontaneous mixing of the particles of two substances caused by their random motion.  
🗑
effusion   A process by which gas particles pass through a tiny opening.  
🗑
elastic collision   A collision 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 it’s container; a liquid or a gas.  
🗑
ideal gas   An imaginary gas that perfectly fits all 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 assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.  
🗑
atmosphere of pressure (atm)   Exactly equivalent to 760mm Hg.  
🗑
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 meter per second each second it is applied.  
🗑
pascal   The pressure excerpted by a force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter.  
🗑
kilopascal   The multiplet of peaks you see in the ESR spectrum.  
🗑
pressure   The force per unit area on a surface.  
🗑
standard temperature and pressure (STP)   The agreed-upon standard conditions of exactly 1 atm pressure and 0 degrees celsius.  
🗑
standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP)   The maximum and minimum amounts by which the pressure varies from normal ambient pressure.  
🗑
torr   A type of vacuum pump capable of pressures down to .01 torr.  
🗑
absolute zero   The temperature -273.15 C given a value of zero in the Kelvin scale.  
🗑
Kelvin   The temperature scale used in chemistry, physics and some engineering calculations. Zero degrees Kelvin (-273 centigrade) is the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases.  
🗑
Boyle’s Law   The volume of a fixed mass of gas  
🗑
Charles’s Law   The volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure varies directly with the kelvin temperature.  
🗑
Combined gas law   A measure of the relative tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself when chemically combined with another atom.  
🗑
Dalton’s Law of partial pressure   States that the total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture.  
🗑
Gay-Lusscac’s Law   States that the pressure of a sample of gas at constant volume, is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.  
🗑
Ideal gas law   One in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces.  
🗑
Partial pressure   Which is the pressure which the gas would have if it alone occupied the volume.  
🗑
Avogadro’s Law   Two given samples of an ideal gas, at the same temperature, pressure and volume, contain the same number of molecules.  
🗑
van der Waals equation   Is an equation of state for a fluid composed of particles that have a non-zero volume and a pairwise attractive inter-particle force.  
🗑
bar   100 kPa  
🗑
Gas Constant   Is a physical constant which is featured in a large number of fundamental equations in the physical sciences, such as the ideal gas law and the Nernst equation.  
🗑
