Greenhouse Gases
The three main greenhouse gases.
What are methane, carbon dioxide and water vapour?
Temperature and pressure of Standard Laboratory Conditions
What is 25 C and 100 kPa?
The ideal gas equation.
What is pV=nRT?
The average volume of methane a cow produces in one day.
What is 500 L?
Number of particles in 1 mole of a substance.
What is 6.02x10^23?
The definition of the enhanced greenhouse effect.
What is the effect of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as the result of human activity?
The molar volume of a gas at SLC.
What is 24.8 mol/L?
A method to double the pressure of a gas when: a rigid container holds a fixed volume of gas at a certain temperature and pressure.
What is double the temperature OR Halve the volume of the container OR Double the number of moles of the gas?
The volume of 12.0 mol of gas at SLC.
What is 297.6 L?
The number of particles in 0.5 moles of butane.
What is 3.01x10^23 particles?
A gas with a GWP (global warming potential) greater than methane.
What are nitrous oxide, CFCs, PFCs and SF6?
-106.25 degrees Celcius converted to Kelvin.
What is 166.75 degrees Kelvin?
The value and units of R, the molar gas constant.
What is 8.31 J K-1 mol-1?
The pressure, in atm, converted from 3,168,722 Pa, to 2 decimal places. 1 atm is 101,300 Pa.
What is 31.28 atm?
The mass of 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide gas.
What is 44.0g?
Three sources of energy that don't produce greenhouse gases. (Renewable energy sources)
What is wind energy, solar energy, wave energy/hydro-electricity, geothermal energy or nuclear energy?
Three facts about gas particles from the kinetic molecular theory of gases.
What are particles which move constantly, randomly, at high speeds, which are very far apart, and which collide with each other or their container to exert pressure?
The ideal gas equation rearranged to solve for temperature.
What is T=pV/nR?
A gas occupies 5.00L at 100kPa and 300K. Using p(1)V(1)=p(2)V(2), find the pressure if the gas is compressed to 2.00L at 300K.
What is 250kPa?
The number of molecules in 3.00 mol of hydrogen gas (H2).
What is 1.806x10^24 molecules/particles?
The reason water vapour is considered a greenhouse gas but isn't included in emission targets.

The name of the diatomic gas which has a mass of 4.05g and a volume of 3.14L at SLC.
What is oxygen gas (O2)?
The pressure (in atmospheres, to 1 decimal place) inside a container which has 1 mole of carbon dioxide with a volume of 536mL at 373K.
What is 57.1 atm?
The volume of a balloon that contains 0.692mol of ammonia gas at 280K and a pressure of 1 bar, to 1 decimal place.
What is 16.1 L?
