A gas may compose of:
Individual atoms ex. He (helium)
Elemental molecules ex. O2 (oxygen)
Compound molecules ex. CO2 (carbon dioxide)
Volume Relationships between these factors
Pressure
are discussed on page 15 page.
Temperature
A measure of space of a container a gas is
placed.
A measure of the total force of gas particles as
they hit the walls of the container.
A measure of the average kinetic energy of gas
particles.
Defines an ideal gas in terms of particle behavior.
are far apart
are in continuous, random, straight-line motion
transfer energy when they collide
have no attraction to each other
have no (or insignificant) volume
A theoretical gas whose particles behave exactly
as described under KMT (above), and obey all
gas laws.
No such gas exist.
Gases that do not behave exactly as (deviate
from) an ideal gas.
These are gases that we know do exist.
oxygen, hydrogen, helium..etc.
