Ideal Gases

?
What is a mol?
The amount of substance.
1 of 11
What is the Avogadro constant?
6.02 x 10^23.
2 of 11
What is the equation for the total number of atoms in a substance?
N=n x N(A).
3 of 11
What assumptions are made for an ideal gas?
There are lots of atoms moving in random directions with random speeds. The atoms occupy a negligible volume. The collision of atoms are elastic. The time of collisions is negligible. Electrostatic forces are negligible except during collisions.
4 of 11
If the temperature and mass of the gas is constant, what happens to the pressure?
It is inversely proportional to the volume.
5 of 11
If the volume and mass of the gas remain constant, what happens to the pressure?
It is directly proportional to the temperature.
6 of 11
What is the equation of state of an ideal gas?
pV=nRT.
7 of 11
What is the route mean square speed?
The typical motion of particles in a gas.
8 of 11
What is the equation for pressure and volume in a gas?
pV=1/3Nmc^2.
9 of 11
What is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution?
The range of speeds of particles in a gas.
10 of 11
What is the Boltzmann constant?
The molar gas constant divided by the Avogadro constant (R/N).
