100

This law states that at constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.

Boyles Law

100

This term describes the average kinetic energy of gas particles.

Temperature 

100

Ideal gases are assumed to have no intermolecular forces and particles of this size.

Negligible (very very very tiny)

100

A sample of 2.50 mol of nitrogen gas (N₂) is held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 25.0°C. What volume does it occupy? (INCLUDE UNITS OR DOES NOT COUNT!)

61.2 L

100

4.00 g of hydrogen gas (H₂, M = 2.016 g/mol) is stored in a 12.0 L tank at 15.0°C. What is the pressure in atm?


3.9 atm

200

This law states that at constant pressure, volume and temperature are directly proportional.

Charles Law

200

At this temperature (0°C and 1 atm), one mole of an ideal gas occupies exactly 22.4 liters.

Standard temperature and pressure (STP)

200

Ideal gases are considered to have perfectly elastic collisions, meaning this

Kinetic energy is not lost during collisions

200

A rigid 5.00 L container holds 0.800 mol of helium gas at 37.0°C. What is the pressure inside the container? (INCLUDE UNITS OR DOES NOT COUNT!)

4.06 atm

200

A chemist needs to collect 500 mL of ammonia gas (NH₃, M = 17.03 g/mol) at 25.0°C and 1.00 atm. What mass of NH₃ must be produced?


.347 g

300

This law states that at constant volume, pressure and temperature are directly proportional.

Gay-Lussac's Law

300

Gases are distinct from other fundamental states of matter due to their indefinite volume, low density, and ability to do this.

Be compressed (are compressible)

300

Ideal gases fly all over the place with no rhyme or reason, we refer to this behavior as the gases exhibiting this kind of motion.

Random/chaotic

300

A weather balloon has a volume of 48.0 L at 1.00 atm and 20.0°C. How many moles of gas does it contain? (INCLUDE UNITS OR DOES NOT COUNT!)

2.00 mol

300

A scuba tank has an internal volume of 12.0 L and contains air at 200 atm and 20.0°C. At the surface (1.00 atm, 20.0°C), what volume would this air occupy?


2400 L

400

This law combines Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws into a single expression relating P, V, mols, and T.

The ideal gas equation

400

This property is defined as a substances mass divided by its volume

Density

400

This variable (R) is referred to as the universal gas constant with a value of this when measuring pressure using atmospheres.

.08206 L(atm)/K(mol) (units not necessary in answer)

400

A gas occupies 10.0 L at 2.00 atm with 0.750 mol present. What is the temperature of the gas in Celsius?


51.7 C

400

A gas sample at 1.00 atm and 27.0°C occupies 4.00 L. The container is heated to 127.0°C while the pressure is simultaneously increased to 2.00 atm. Find (n)

.1626 mol

500

This law states that equal volumes of all ideal gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of mols.

Avagadro's Law

500

This property is defined as the amount of force exerted over some area 

Pressure

500

The ideal gas equation involves four variables and a constant. Written as an equation where the variables are represented by one letter symbols, it looks like this.
