Gas Properties

• Gas Pressure = P
• Pressure - is described as a force acting on a specific area

  P = F/A
• Pressure units = atm, mm hg, torr, lb/in^2 and kilopascals (kPa).
• 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr

  1 atm = 101.325 kPa
• Volume (V) = is a three dimensional space occupied by a gas
• Temperature (T) - measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

  KE = movement
• degrees Celsius + 273 = K
• Quantity (n): measured in moles (mol)

  
  

  1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 units of a substance
