Properties of Gases - Chapter 6 Exam Review

A set of flashcards covering key concepts and definitions related to the properties of gases as outlined in Chapter 6.

Gas Pressure

when gas particles collide with the walls of a container they exert a pressure

Gas consist of

Particles that move randomly and rapidly and fill up any space

Temperature is measured with a

Thermometer

Atmospheric pressure is measured with a

Barometer

Boyle's Law

pressure and volume are inversely related in gas; if one quantity increases, the other decreases.

Boyles law tell how _ and _ are related

Pressure and Volume

Charles's Law

Volume and Temperature are proportional in gas ; if one quantity increases so does the other

Charles law tells you how _and _ are related

Volume and Temperature

Gay-Lussac's Law

The pressure of a gas is proportional to the temperature ; if one quantity increases so does the other.

Gay lussacs law explains how_and _ are related

Pressure and Temperature

Standard Temperature for gas

173.15 kelvin

Standard pressure for gas

760 mm Hg or 760 Torr

Standard Molar Volume

22.4 Liters

Inhale Process

• The rib cage expands and the diaphragm lowers

• This increases the volume of the lungs

• Which causes pressure to decrease

• Drawing air into the lungs

Exhale Process

• The rib cage contracts which raises the diaghram

• That decreases volume to the lungs

• Decreasing the lung volume causes pressure to increase

• The increase in pressure causes air to be expelled from the lungs

Pressure

The force exerted per unit area
