Chemistry Chapter 14 Vocab

for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure

the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature if the pressure is kept constant

at constant volume and temperature, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases

the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass; this relationship is also true for the diffusion of gases

the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature if the volume is constant

the relationship PV = nRT, which describes the behavior of an ideal gas

the process that occurs when a gas escapes through a tiny hole in its container

the tendency of molecules to move toward areas of lower concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout

the contribution each gas in a mixture of gases makes to the total pressure

a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure
