Ever wonder why Episode 901 Kinetic Theory Gases

Ever wonder why? Episode 901

Kinetic Theory • Gases are composed of small, separate particles called molecules. • Gas molecules are in constant motion. • All collisions between particles are perfectly elastic. • The molecules of a gas display no attraction or repulsion for one another. • The average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas. Episode 901

Ideal Gas • Gas whose behavior conforms to the kinetic theory – it is theoretical. • All gases behave as an ideal gas unless temperature is very low or pressure is very high. Episode 901

Gas Pressure • Pressure = force / area • Atmospheric Pressure – the pressure the earth’s atmosphere exerts due to its weight Episode 901

Barometer • Instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. • Invented by Torecelli Episode 901

Normal Atmospheric Pressure • • • Also called standard pressure 760 mm Hg 760 torr 1 atm (atmosphere) 101. 3 k. Pa STP • Standard Temperature and Pressure • 1 atm • 0⁰Celsius Episode 901

Manometer • Instrument used to measure gas pressure • U-shaped tube partially filled with mercury • One end open to confined gas • One end open to atmosphere Episode 901
