answer
Manometer
question
4 basic properties of a gas sample
answer

Pressure (P)

Volume (V)

Temperature (T)

Moles (m)

question
Boyle's Law
answer

An increase in volume or pressure results in a decrease of the opposite.

;

Constant: Temp. ; moles

P1V1=P2V2

question
Charles's Law
answer


The volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature.

 

Constant: P & n

V1/T1=V2/T2

 

question
Avogadro's Law
answer

When gas in a sample increases at constant temperature and pressure, its volume increases in direct proportion because the greater # of gas particles fill more space.

;

Constant: T ; P

V1/n1=V2/n2

question
Ideal Gas Law
answer

The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.

;

P = atm

V = L

Moles = mol

Temperature = K

question
Molar Volume
answer
Volume occupied by one mole of a substance.
question
STP
answer

Standard Temperature = 273 degrees

Standard Pressure = 1 atm

Standard Rate = 0.0821

Standard Volume = 22.4 L

question
Density of gas under standard conditions:
answer
molar mass / molar volume
question
Density of gas is directly proportional to:
answer

molar mass.

;

The greater the molar mass, the more dense the gas.

;

Density (d = PM / RT)

question
Composition of dry air
answer

Nitrogen (N2) = 78%

Oxygen (O2) = 21%

Argon (Ar) = 0.9%

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) = 0.04%

question
Partial Pressure
answer

(Pn)

Pressure due to any individual component in a gas mixture.

;

The sum of the partial pressure of the components in a gas mixture must equal the total pressure. (Ptotal)

question
Mole Fraction
answer

Xa;= na;/ ntotal

;

number of moles of a component in a mixture divided by the total number of moles in the mixture

question
Hypoxia
answer
Physiological condition developed due to low oxygen levels.
question
Vapor Pressure
answer
Partial pressure of water in the mixture
question
Kinetic Molecular Theory
answer

1.) The size of a particle is negligibly small.

2.) The average kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to the temp. in kelvins.

3.) The collision of one particle with another is completely elastic

question

Boyle's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

answer
If you decrease the volume of a gas, you force the gas particles to occupy a smaller space.  Temp. remains same, number of collisions increases, resulting in greater pressure.
question

Charles's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

answer
When you increase the temp. of a gas, the average speed and the average kinetic energy of the particles increases. Since greater kinetic energy results in more frequent collisions and more force per collision, the pressure of the gas increase if its volume is held constant. The only way for pressure to remain constant is for volume to increase.
question

Avogadro's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

 

answer
When you increase the number of particles in a gas sample, the number of collisions with the surrounding surfaces increases.  The greater number of collisions results in a greater overall force on surrounding surfaces.  The only way for pressure to remain constant is for the volume to increase.
question

Dalton's Law

Kinetic Molecular Theory

answer
The particles have negligible size and they do not interact. ;Particles of different masses have the same average kinetic energy at a given temperature, so they exert the same force upon collision with a surface.
question
Mean Free Path
answer
The average distance that a molecule travels between collisions.
question
Diffusion
answer
The process by which gas molecules spread out in response to a concentration gradient.
question
Effusion
answer
Process by which gas escapes from a container into a vacuum through a small hole.
question
Thermochemistry
answer
The study of relationships between chemistry and energy
question

answer
The energy associated with the position or composition of an object.
question
Chemical Energy
answer

The energy associated with the relative positions of electrons and nuclei in atoms and molecules.

;

Also a form of potential energy.

question
Law of Conservation of Energy
answer
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. ;However energy can be transferred from one object to another and can assume different forms.
question
A good way to understand and track energy changes:
answer
Define the system.
question
System Surroundings
answer
Everything with which the system can exchange energy.
question
Energy Conversion Factors
answer

1 calorie (cal) = 4.184 J

1 Calorie (Cal or kcal) = 4184 J

1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 3.60x106;J

question
Internal Energy
answer
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all of the particles that compose the system.
question
State Function
answer
Value depends only on the state of the system, not on how the system arrived at that state.
question
Summarized Energy Flow
answer

-If the reactants have a higher internal energy than the products, deltaEsys;is negative and energy flows out of the system into the surroundings.

;

-If the reactants have a lower internal energy than the products, deltaEsys;is positive and energy flows into the system from the surroundings.

question
Thermal Equilibrium
answer
The heat transfer from an object to the surroundings stops when the two reach the same temperature.
question
Heat capacity is an extensive property because:
answer

1.) It's dependent on the amount of matter being heated.

 

2.) Water is more resistant to temperature change than steel.

question

question
Enthalpy of Reaction or Heat Reaction
answer

deltaHrxn

 

Extensive Property

question
Relationships Involving deltaHrxn
answer

1.) If a chemical equation is multiplied by some factor, then deltaHrxn is also multiplied by the same factor.

2.) If a chemical equation is reversed, then deltaHrxn changes sign.

3.) If a chemical equation can be expressed as the sum of a series of steps, then deltaHrxn for the overall equation is the sum of the heats of reactions for each step.
