Formulas and Key Relations
1. Perfect Gas and Gas Equation
PV = RT
PV = μRT
PV = nkT
R = PV/(μT)
2. Kinetic Theory of Gases and Pressure
P = (1/3)ρv̄² = (2/3)E
P = (1/3)(mn/V)v̄²
3. rms Speed and Temperature
v_rms = √(v̄²) = √(3P/ρ) = √(3RT/M)
v1rms/v2rms = √(M2/M1)
(1/2)m v̄² = (3/2)kT
4. Gas Laws from Kinetic Theory
PV = constant
V ∝ T
n1 = n2
P = P1 + P2 + P3 + ...
r ∝ 1/√ρ
rms Speed, Temperature, and Molecular Weight
The rms speed of gas molecules is v_rms = √(v̄²).
It can also be written as v_rms = √(3P/ρ).
For 1 mole, v_rms = √(3RT/M).
Key relations
For 1 mole, PV = RT.
For μ moles, PV = μRT.
k = 1.38×10⁻²³ J K⁻¹.
