Gas Properties

Cards (8)

  • 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
