Mole

The standard SI base unit for an amount of a substance.

Physical change

When the chemical composition is not changed.

Chemical Change

Energy is transformed from one form to another in what type of change?

Gay-Lussac's Law

The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature if the volume and moles of gas are kept constant.

P₁/T₁=P₂/T₂

What is Gay-Lussac's equation?

Inverse relationship

The variables change in opposite directions: one increases while the other decreases, and vice versa.

Compound

Percent Composition

The percent by mass of each element in a compound. Can be used to help identify an unknown compound.

Stoichiometry

The study of the quantitative relationships that can be derived from chemical formulas and equations.

Excess reactant

The reactant that is not completely used up in a chemical reaction.

Ideal Gas

A gas that obeys the gas laws under all conditions of temperature and pressure.

Element

Pure substance that only contains one kind of atom.Ex: Copper (Cu) and Bromine (Br)

Absolute Zero

Theoretically the lowest attainable temperature.

Molar Mass

The mass of one mole of a substance.

Boyle's Law

States that the volume of a sample of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the temperature and the amount of gas are kept constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

What is Boyle's Law equation?

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure

At a constant temperature and volume, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture.

P(total)= P₁+P₂+P₃...

What is Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure equation?

Gas Stoichiometry

1 mole of a gas is equal to 22.4 L

Kelvin Scale

Empirical Formula

The formula which gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.

Mole ratio

The ratio obtained from the balanced equation that indicates the proportions of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Percent yield

Actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

Molar Volume

22.4 Liters = 1.0 moles

Charles's Law

The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature if the pressure and the amount of gas are kept constant.

V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂

What is Charles's Law equation?

Avogadro's law

Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

What is Avogadro's Law equation?

Ideal Gas Law

Combines Boyle's law, Charles’s Law, Gay-Lussac’s Law, and Avogadro’s Law to show the relationship for the four variables of pressure,volume, temperature, and number of molecules.

PV = nRT

What is the Ideal Gas Law equation?

Combined Gas Law

combination of Boyle and Charles’s Lawsr

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

What is the Combined Gas Law equation?

Direct relationship

Both variables increase together or both decrease together.

Mixture

A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.

Atom

The smallest units of an element that maintain the properties of that element.

Celsius

Of or denoting a scale of temperature on which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under standard conditions.

Limiting Reactant

The reactant or reagent that controls the amount of product that can be formed in a chemical reaction.

Real Gas

Deviates from ideal behavior under conditions of high pressure and low temperature because it is no longer a gas.
