The Gas Law For Substances At High Temperature And Pressure Is Accomplished Via Van Der Waals Model

The temperature outside affects how fast molecules move inside objects. Charles Law helps us explain how molecules move in different temperatures. It states that “Increasing the temperature of a volume of gas causes individual gas molecules to move faster” (Andrew Staroscik Staroscik 9/19/16), and “the volume is proportional to the absolute temperature of a gas at constant pressure” (Todd Helmenstine 10/16/16). In other words, as the temperature increases, so does the speed of the molecules, and when the temperature is doubled so is its volume. As molecules start to move faster, they tend to hit the object they are in more often. When they hit the object they are increasing its air pressure, when this happens, “Newton's Third Law of motion says that both the molecule and the wall will experience a force” (Andrew Staroscik Staroscik 9/19/16). As the temperature decreases, so does the speed of the

Phase of matter will affect pressure. “People often think of the states of matter changing from solid to liquid or liquid to gas based on temperature, but the pressure also has an impact on the state” (Nelson). In most cases, you would need a higher temperature to change the state with a higher pressure.

The definition of a system is a “regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole and/or a group of interacting bodies under the influence of related forces” (Comer, pg. 58). The book gives

a. Exothermic: a chemical rxn that RELEASES thermal energy. An example exothermic the explosion of bombs that then release heat into the atmosphere; reactants yields products + energy b. Endothermic: a chemical rxn that ABSORBS and STORES thermal energy. An example of an endothermic rxn is an instant cold pack ( ammonium nitrate + H₂O) to produce the a drop in temperature. 4. Entropy: The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics- the increased disorder that occurs because the decreased amount of usable energy.

1. A system can be basically defined as any set of interdependent parts performing a specific function or set functions. (Sower, 2011, p108)

The mechanism that allows us to compute temperature values for pressure readings associated with a Helium filled glass bulb is based on how system properties are linked together. The purpose of using Helium gas is because Helium can remain in its gas state when surrounded by boiling liquid Nitrogen. The goal is to determine the temperature of a gas based on the pressure readings of that gas, so in order to determine a working equation, the ideal gas law will be modified to represent temperature.

In activity 17.3.2 we weighed out 150g of chilled water and 150g of pat dried ice and we put it into a styrofoam cup along with an immersion heater, and a temperature sensor. We recorded the data on LoggerPro and as the experiment is running, we continuously stirred the mixture; We ran this experiment for roughly 16 minutes; We saw that the ice was melting and once it was completely melted, the water started to get warmer and boil, we also observed steam from the water. Analyzing our data, we compared the initial mass 300g to the final mass 257.5g, there was some loss due to evaporating during the boiling process. This experiment supports the concept because we can see that when the immersion heater was melting the ice, there was a horizontal line near 0°C; When the ice was changing phase to liquid, we observed no temperature changes.

The hot/cold lab is an example of phase changes. With ice in water being slowly heated over a period of twenty five minutes, the three phases of matter were exhibited. The initial phase was a solid, the water used was ice. After being heated for around seven minutes, the solid ice had another phase change, it became a liquid, just water. At around twenty four minutes of being heated, the water finally boiled in order to change into a gas. The data we collected shows the increase in temperature as the phases changed. Antoine Lavoisier₁ was a French chemist who first wrote about these phase changes. He described the three different types of phases as “solid like stones...fluid like water...a third state which I shall call the state of expansion

The specific heat of a substance is defined as the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost or 1 g of that substance to change its temperature by 1°C.

Hypothesis As the temperature of water increases, the particles of liquid ammonia, Ammonia liquid, which are absorbing energy from its surrounding, start moving more easily between the solutions. As of the second law of thermodynamics, the particles will move to the more disordered, more highly dispersed solution state.

Systems in many respects resemble machines. A machine is a little system, created to perform, as well as to connect together, in reality, those different movements and effects which the artist has occasion for. A system is an imaginary machine invented to connect together in the fancy those different movements and effects which are already performed.

The properties of freezing point, boiling point, vapor pressure, and osmotic pressure are properties that can be manipulated based on the ratio of a solute in a solution compared to the pure solvent. A pure solvent is generally a liquid compound that has the ability to dissolve other materials chemically. Decreased freezing point is the temperature at which the solution or solvent becomes solid, leaving the solute behind. The boiling point is how much it takes for the pressure of the water to become more than the atmospheric pressure or when the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes greater than the atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure can be described in terms of the pressure rates of molecules going in or out of a state of liquid or gas

Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals the ambient atmospheric pressure.2 Therefore, a substance with a lower boiling point is also one with a higher vapor pressure because it requires less energy to increase for vapor pressure to equal ambient atmospheric pressure. Another example is that vapor pressure can serve as an effective indicator of a substance's degree of volatility, a substance's tendency to vaporize.3 Because a substance with higher vapor pressure has greater tendencies of both evaporation and condensation in equilibrium, it will also vaporize more readily.4 This, in particular, will be a central

When gases are compared, their volumes, temperatures and pressure are always involved. The volume of a gas is identical to the volume of the container holding it. The temperature of the gas is related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules. The gas pressure originates from the bombardments of the molecules with the
