1
Pressure
Measurement of force per unit area.
New cards
2
Atmospheric pressure
The force per unit area exerted by air on all objects, standard value is 101.325 kPa at sea level.
New cards
3
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
Defined as 1 atmosphere at 0 °C, or 101.325 kPa at 273.15K.
New cards
4
Boyle’s Law
States that as the pressure on a gas increases, the volume decreases proportionally, provided temperature and amount of gas remain constant.
New cards
5
Charles’ Law
States that as the temperature of a gas increases, the volume increases proportionally, provided pressure and amount of gas remain constant.
New cards
6
Absolute Zero
The lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops.
New cards
7
Gas exerts pressure
Gases exert pressure on the walls of their container.
New cards
8
The Combined Gas Law
States that the product of pressure and volume of a gas sample is proportional to its absolute temperature in Kelvin (PV = kT).
New cards
9
Molar Volume
The volume that one mole of a gas occupies at a specific temperature and pressure.
New cards
10
Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes
When measured at the same temperature and pressure, volumes of gaseous reactants and products of chemical reactions are in simple ratios of whole numbers.
New cards
11
Avogadro’s Theory
Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
New cards
12
Ideal Gas Law
An equation of state for an ideal gas, stated as PV = nRT.
New cards
13
Universal Gas Constant (R)
A constant used in the Ideal Gas Law, typically equal to 8.314 kPa L/mol K.
New cards
14
Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure (SATP)
Defined as 100 kPa at 25 °C or 100 kPa at 298.15K.
New cards
15
Translational motion
The most important form of motion in gases.
New cards
16
Partial pressure
The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture.
