Boyle's Law

Cards (55)

  • Charles's Law
    Relationship between volume and temperature at constant pressure of a gas
  • Measurable properties of gases
    • Volume
    • Pressure
    • Temperature
    • Amount of gas
  • Volume

    The space occupied by a gas, expressed in milliliters (mL), cubic centimeters (cm3), cubic meter (m3), and liter (L)
  • Pressure
    The force exerted by the gas per unit area, measured in Pascal (Pa)
  • Temperature
    Depends on the kinetic energy of a gas, expressed in Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), and Kelvin (K)
  • Amount of gas

    Related to the number of moles, calculated as the ratio of the mass of the gas and its molar mass (n=m/M)
  • Jacques Alexandre Charles, a French physicist, performed an experiment using a balloon, hot water, and cold water
  • Under normal atmospheric condition, there are only 11 elements that are gases. These includes diatomic molecules and noble gases
  • Scientists have observed some activities involving gases and found that the behavior of gases is determined by the behavior of its individual particle
  • Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)

    A simple model of an ideal gas or a theoretical gas, where the particles behave consistently and in a predictable manner
  • Characteristics of gases according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory
    • Gases consist of very tiny particles, each of which has mass
    • Gas particles move rapidly in straight lines, travel constantly, and in random directions
    • Gases diffuse rapidly that allows two or more gases to mix readily when combined
    • The forces of attraction (Van der Waals Force) between the particles of gases are negligible because of the wide spaces between them
    • Gas particles collide with each other or with the walls of its container but do not lose their kinetic energy; instead, it is only transferred to the lower energy particle and will continue to move. energy is conserved in an elastic collision of gas particles
    • All gases have the same average kinetic energy at a given temperature of gas. The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas
  • The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases provides a model to explain behavioral properties of gases
  • Gas laws are products of various experiments that were done by scientists many years ago
  • Boyle's Law
    Relationship between volume and pressure at constant temperature
  • Measurable properties of gases in Boyle's Law

    • Volume
    • Pressure
  • Volume
    Denoted by the symbol V, with SI unit in Liter (L), can also be expressed in milliliters (mL), cubic meters (m3), and cubic centimeter (cm3)
  • Pressure
    Denoted by the symbol P, the force exerted by the gas per unit area, depends on the kinetic energy of the molecules
  • Pressure is directly proportional to temperature

    Gases expand when temperature is increased
  • Boyle's Law

    When the pressure changes on a certain amount of gas, its size is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided that the temperature is constant
  • Charles's Law
    The Kelvin temperature and the volume of a gas are directly related when there is no change in pressure
  • Among the units of temperature, we always express it in Kelvin (K)
  • Absolute zero

    The lowest attainable temperature, with a value of -273.15 °C
  • Converting Celsius to Kelvin
    K = °C + 273.15
  • Charles's law
    At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature
  • If the absolute temperature of a gas is doubled
    The volume will be double
  • Lord Kelvin, a Scottish physicist who has identified the lowest attainable temperature known as absolute zero with a value of -273.15 celsius.
  • Living organisms produces inorganic molecules known as Biomolecules
  • Monomers - are atoms that bond together in order to form more complex structures.
  • sugars (monosaccharides) which is the most common natural monomer, it links to form polymer carbohydrates
    • amino acids - are the monomers that build a polymer called protein
  • fatty acids- also known as lipids or fats have two different building blocks fatty acid and glycerol.
  • nucleotides – are monomers that join together to form nucleic acid which contains genetic information the structural units of RNA and DNA, as well as providing an energy source in metabolism.
  • Biomolecules
    • carbohydrates
    • lipids
    • protein
    • nucleic acids
  • Carbohydrates are the major source of energy in our body. All carbohydrates contain carbon hydrogen and oxygen.
  • 3 Main Groups of Carbohydrates
    • Monosaccharides
    • Disaccharides
    • Polysaccharides
  • Monosaccharide is white solid at room temperature and very soluble in water
  • Glucose is found in the free state in the plant and animal tissue
  • Triose is a monosaccharide with three carbon atoms
  • Pentose and ribose are five carbon atoms
  • Hexoses are made up of six atoms and are the most common monosaccharides.
