Gases are made up of molecules with lots of empty space between
Particles move quickly - pressure is caused by this motion
Collisions are completely elastic
There are no attractive or repulsive forces between molecules
KE = 1/2mv2
What are the properties of gases resulting from the KTG? Expansion, fluidity, low density, high compressibility, diffusion, effusion
What is expansion in gases? Gases have no def shape or volume, so they're just expanding
What is fluidity in gases? Particles glide past each other
What is low density in gases? Gases are roughly 1/100th the density of solids and liquids
What is diffusion in gases? Spontaneous mixing of 2 substances due to random molecular motion
What is effusion in gases? A gas spreads through a small opening between containers
When do gases behave ideally? At low pressures and high temperatures
Gases have quantitative and qualittative relationships.

Combined gas law Describes the mathematical relationships between P, T, & V
What is the formula for Boyle's law? PoVo = PnVn
As n ↑ (what happens to volume) V ↑
As ↑n (what happens to pressure) ↑ P
As ↑ T (what happens to pressure) ↑ P
As ↑ T (what happens to volume) ↑ V
As ↑ P (what happens to volume) V ↓
STP Standard temperature and pressure
Standard values for pressure 1 atm, 760 mm of Hg, 760 torr, 101.3 kPa
What is the standard temperature value for C˚? 0
What is the standard temperature value for K˚? 273 K
How do you convert from K to C? K = 273 + C
What is the standard volume at STP? 22.4 L
1 mL = 1 cm3
1000 mL = 1 L
1 L = 1 dm3
Boyle's Law (1662) The volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure at constant temperature
As the applied/outside pressure increases, the volume decreases.
What is Charles' law? The volume of a fixed mass of gas varies directly with temperature at constant pressure
What is the formula for Charles' law? TnVo = ToVn
Under Charles' law, as the temperature increases, the volume increases.
What is Gay-Lussac's law? The pressure of a fixed mass of gas varies directly with temperature at constant volume
What is the formula for Gay-Lussac's law? PoTn = PnTo
In GL's law, as the temperature increases, the pressure increases.
What is the combined gas law? PoTnVo = PnToVn
What is Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures? The total pressure of a collection of gases in a mixture is equal to the sum of the pressure that each gas would exert by itself in the same volume
What is the formula for Dalton's law? PT = P1 + P2
