Definition: Gas Equation

The volume of a given mass of a dry gas varies inversely as the pressure and directly as the absolute temperature.

V ∝ \[\frac {1}{P}\] × T or \[\frac {PV}{T}\] = k (constant)

If volume changes from V1 to V2, pressure from P1 to P2, and temperature from T1 to T2, then:

\[\frac {P_1V_1}{T_1}\] = \[\frac {P_2V_2}{T_2}\] = k (constant)

Definition: Absolute Scale or Kelvin Scale

A temperature scale with absolute zero (zero kelvin) as the starting point is called the absolute scale or the kelvin scale.

Law: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

The total pressure of a gaseous mixture equals the sum of the partial pressures of all individual gases.

PTotal = P1 + P2 + P3 +⋯

Partial pressure of a gas: Pi = xi × PTotal​, where xi = mole fraction of gas i

Pressure of pure dry gas: Pdry gas = PTotal − Paq, where Paq= aqueous tension (vapour pressure of water)

Law: Graham's Law of Diffusion

Rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.

\[\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}\]

\[\text{Rate of diffusion}=\frac{\text{Volume of gas diffused}}{\text{Time required for diffusion}}\]
