Ideal Gas Law Flashcards

Flashcards about Ideal Gas Law

Avogadro's Law

For any given mass of gas, the volume (V) of the gas are directly proportional to the number of moles (n) of gas if temperature and pressure are constant. V ∝ n

Boyle's Law

States that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure (P) of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume (V).

Charles's Law

States that the volume (V) of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (T) when the pressure is constant.

Ideal Gas Law

PV = nRT, where:
P = pressure (Pa)
V = volume (m³)
n = number of moles
T = temperature (Kelvin)
R = Gas law constant (8.314 m³.Pa.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹)

Assumptions of Ideal Gases

The particles in a gas are in constant, random motion; the combined volume of the particles is negligible; the particles exert no forces on one another; any collisions between the particles are completely elastic; the average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the temperature in kelvins.
