a gas is greatly affected by both _____ and _____ changes
pressure and temperature
says that gas molecules are in constant, rapid motion moving in straight lines until they collide with each other or with a solid or liquid
kinetic theory of matter
gas molecules undergo these reactions, where no energy is lost when they collide
elastic collisions
true or false: kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly related to temperature
true
true or false: gas molecules are very far apart and are negligible in volume compared to the volume of the gas
true
gas that obeys exactly the assumptions of the kinetic theory
ideal gas
are there ideal gases?
no; none exist
kinetic energy formula
Ek = ½mv^2
pressure formula
P = F/A
SI unit for pressure
Pascal (Pa) (equal to N/m^2)
measurable properties that may be varied
variables
in this proportion, a change in one variable requires a similar change in the other variable
direct proportion
in this proportion, a change in one variable requires an inverse or reciprocal change in the other variable
inverse proportion
direct proportion
k = x/y
inverse proportion
k = xy
device used to measure the pressure exerted by the collisions of gas molecules in our atmosphere
barometer
measures pressure using a long glass tube filled with mercury
mercury barometer
created the mercury barometer
Evangeliste Torricelli
barometer without liquid
aneroid barometer
laboratory device used to measure the pressure of gas samples by comparing the heights of two mercury columns
manometer
two types of manometer
open-end manometer and closed- end manometer
law stating that at constant temperature, the volume of a given amount of gas varies inversely with pressure
Boyle’s law
Boyle’s law
P1V1 = P2V2
law stating that at constant pressure, the volume of a given amount of gas varies directly with absolute temperature
Charles’s law
