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 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 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 760 mm Hg  
🗑
barometer   a device used to measure atmospheric pressure  
🗑
millimeter of mercury (mm of Hg)   a common unit of pressure symbolized as Hg. The same as 1 torr.  
🗑
newton   the SI unit for force; the force that will increase the speed of a one kilogram mass by one meter per second it is applied  
🗑
pascal   the pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter  
🗑
kilopascal   (kPa) the easier way to express a pascal. the standard 1atm is equal to 101.325 kPa  
🗑
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°  
🗑
standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP)   25 C, 1 bar  
🗑
torr   The downward pressure, at any given point in the atmosphere, of the gases directly above that point. the same as 1 mm Hg  
🗑
absolute zero   the temperature -273.15°C, given a value of zero in the Kelvin scale  
🗑
Kelvin   unit of measuring temperature. the scale starts at a temperature corresponding to -273.15 C  
🗑
Boyle’s Law   the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with pressure at constant temperature  
🗑
Charles’s Law   the volume of a fixed mass 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 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   the mathematical relationship of pressure, volume, temperature and the number of moles of a gas  
🗑
Partial pressure   the pressure of each gas in a mixture  
🗑
Avogadro’s Law   equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules  
🗑
van der Waals equation   sum of the attractive or repulsive forces between molecules  
🗑
bar   a unit of pressure equal to 100 kilopascals, roughly equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level  
🗑
Gas Constant   (R) equals 0.082 liter-atmospheres per mole-degree  
🗑
