Ideal Gas Laws

Front

What does the variable 'R' represent in the ideal gas law?

Back

The gas constant.

Front

How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

Add 273 to the Celsius measurement.

Front

What is the ideal gas law formula?

Back

PV = nRT.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature in a gas?

Back

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2.

Front

What is the definition of an ideal gas?

Back

An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas that perfectly follows the ideal gas law, with no intermolecular forces and no volume.

Front

What is the difference between an ideal gas and a real gas?

Back

A real gas has some volume and some attraction between molecules, while an ideal gas has no volume and no attraction.

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas if the temperature increases while pressure is constant?

Back

The volume increases (Charles's Law).

Front

What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume decreases while temperature is constant?

Back

The pressure increases (Boyle's Law).

Front

What is the unit of the gas constant 'R'?

Back

The unit of R is typically L·atm/(K·mol).

Front

If a gas occupies 10 L at 1 atm, what will be its volume at 2 atm if the temperature remains constant?

Back

5 L (Boyle's Law).
