What is the Avogrado constant (Na)?
Number of atoms in exactly 12g of the carbon isotope 12,6C
2 of 17
Define the atomic unit mass
1/12th of the mass of a 12,6C atom

What is one mole of a substance?
Quantity of substance that contains Na particles
4 of 17
What is molar mass?
Mass of one mole of the substance
5 of 17
How would you find the number of moles in a substance?
Ms/M where Ms = mass of substance and M=molar mass

What is an ideal gas?
A gas that obeys Boyle's law
8 of 17
What is Boyle's law in words?
The gas pressure X its volume is constant for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature
9 of 17
What is Charles' law in words?
The volume of a fixed mass of an ideal gas at a constant pressure is proportional to its absolute temperature.
10 of 17
What is the pressure law in words?
The pressure of a fixed mass of an ideal gas at constant volume is proportional to its absolute temperature

What is the equation for an ideal gas?
pV=nRT
12 of 17
For an ideal gas, what is the relationship between its density and its temperature?
Density is inversely proportional to temperature T
13 of 17
What is the Boltzmann constant (k)?
Molar gas constant divided by the Avogrado constant (R/Na)
14 of 17
Name 5 assumptions that are made in the kinetic theory model?
Molecules have negligible volume to that of the gas; they do not attract each other; move randomly; undergo elastic collisions; time spent colliding with container
15 of 17
What is the relationship between the temperature of a gas and the mean kinetic energy of a molecule of a gas?
Higher temperature = higher kinetic energy
