Study Notes
Gas Characteristics
- Gases have no definite shape or volume, completely filling their container.
- They easily mix and diffuse with other gases due to their kinetic nature.
- Gases exert pressure on their surroundings, influenced by particle collisions.
Pressure
- Defined as the force that a gas exerts on a surface area.
Standard Atmospheric Pressure and Barometer
- Results from the weight of the atmosphere, influenced by gravity pulling air towards Earth.
Manometers
- Instruments specifically designed to measure the pressure of gases in a container.
Pressure Conversions
- Key conversions:
- 1 atm = 101.3 kPa
- 1 atm = 760 mmHg
- 1 atm = 14.7 lb/in²
Volume and Temperature Relationship
- Volume and temperature of a gas are directly related: when temperature increases, volume increases, and vice versa.
Pressure and Temperature Relationship
- Pressure and temperature are directly related: as temperature increases, pressure increases.
Pressure and Volume Relationship
- Volume and pressure are indirectly related: as volume increases, pressure decreases (Boyle's Law).
Particles and Pressure Relationship
- The number of gas particles directly influences pressure: more particles result in increased collisions, leading to higher pressure.
Particle Size and Gas Properties
- The size of gas particles does not affect the overall properties of gases, including pressure and volume.
Particle Speed and Size Relation
- At the same temperature, larger particles move slower than smaller particles due to kinetic energy: ( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 ).
Avogadro's Law
- States that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles at constant temperature and pressure: ( \frac{n}{v} = \frac{n}{v} ).
Combined Gas Law
- Combines the relationships of pressure, volume, and temperature: ( \frac{PV}{T} = \frac{PV}{T} ).
Ideal Gas Equation
- Represents the state of an ideal gas: ( PV = nRT ) where ( n ) is the number of moles and ( R ) is the ideal gas constant.
Molar Mass Calculation
- Molar mass can be determined using the equation: ( MM = \frac{dRT}{P} ), where ( d ) is density.
