  • what is the general equation for the combustion of carbon-based fuel at SLC?
    Fuel + O2(g) -> CO2(g) + H2O(l)
  • what state is water at SLC?
    liquid
  • what is the kinetic molecular theory?
    • gases move in linear
    • gas particles collide with each other and container walls
    • becayse gas particles are constantly moving, therefore it has kinetic energy
    • in a gas, when particles collide, the kinetic energy of the gas particles can be transferred from one particle to another, but the total energy remains constant - therfore collisions between gas particles are described as elastic collisions - kinetic energy is conserved
  • what is the universal gas equation?
    PV = nRT
    • P = pressure (kPa)
    • V = volume (L)
    • n = mols
    • R = 8.31 (gas constant)
    • T = temperature (K) + 273 degrees celsius
  • what are the standard laboratory conditions (SLC)?
    • 25 degrees celsius
    • 100kPa
  • volume formula?
    n = V/Vm
    • n = mols
    • V = volume (L)
    • Vm = molar volume at SLC (24.8)
