Flashcards

Boyle's Law

States the relationship between the volume (V) and pressure (P) of a gas when temperature (T) and the number of moles (n) are constant. The volume and pressure are inversely proportional, meaning that as pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.

Charles's Law

Describes the relationship between the volume (V) and temperature (T) of a gas when pressure (P) and the number of moles (n) are constant. The volume and temperature are directly proportional, meaning that as temperature increases, the volume increases, and vice versa.

Avogadro's Law

States the relationship between the volume (V) and the number of moles (n) of a gas when pressure (P) and temperature (T) are constant. The volume and the number of moles are directly proportional, meaning that as the number of moles increases, the volume increases, and vice versa.

Ideal Gas Law

A combined gas law that expresses the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and number of moles (n) of a gas. It states that the product of pressure and volume is directly proportional to the product of the number of moles and temperature: PV = nRT, where R is the ideal gas constant (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K).

Van der Waals Equation

A modification of the ideal gas law that takes into account the non-ideal behavior of real gases. It accounts for intermolecular forces and the volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves. The equation is: (P + a(n^2/V^2))(V - nb) = nRT, where a and b are constants that account for these factors.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

The total pressure (Pt) of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures (P1, P2, ...) of each individual gas. The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure it would exert if it were the only gas present in the container.

Ideal vs. Real Gas Conditions

When pressure is less than 10 atm, temperature is high, and volume is large, gases behave more ideally. However, at low temperatures, high pressures, and small volumes, gases deviate from ideal behavior due to intermolecular forces and molecular volume.

Study Notes

Gases

  • Factors affecting gas behavior:
    • Temperature (T) (K) = (°C + 273)
    • Pressure (P) (atm) = 760 torr (mmHg) or 1.01325 x 10⁵ Pa (N/m²)
    • Volume (V) (liters)
    • Number of moles (n) (moles) = (mass/molar mass)
  • Gas laws:
    • Boyle's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and pressure (P) when temperature (T) and the number of moles (n) are constant. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional (V α 1/P).

    • Charles's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and temperature (T) when pressure (P) and the number of moles (n) are constant. Volume and temperature are directly proportional (V α T). V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
    • Avogadro's law: Studies the relationship between volume (V) and the number of moles (n) when pressure (P) and temperature (T) are constant. Volume and the number of moles are directly proportional (V α n). n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂
