    Study Notes

    Physical Chemistry

    • States of Matter: Solid, liquid, gas. Density increases in the order: Gas < Liquid < Solid. Water (H₂O) is an example, existing as solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam).
    • Gases: Characterized by:
      • Taking the shape of their container.
      • Mixing uniformly.
      • Being easily compressed.
      • Having a lower density compared to liquids and solids.
    • Pressure: Force per unit area exerted by a gas on the walls of its container.
    • Units of Pressure:
      • 760 mmHg = 1 atm (standard atmospheric pressure).
    • Measuring Pressure: Use barometers and manometers.

    Gas Laws

    • Boyle's Law: At constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂).
    • Charles' Law: At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂).
    • Combined Gas Law: Combines Boyle's and Charles' laws, relating pressure, volume, and temperature in a gas (P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂).
    • Avogadro's Law: Equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
    • Ideal Gas Law: Relates pressure (P), volume (V), number of moles (n), and absolute temperature (T) of a gas (PV = nRT) where R is the ideal gas constant.

    Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

    • The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture. (Ptotal = PA + PB + ...).
