Unit 12: Gas Laws Section 1: Gas Pressure

What is Pressure? To create the most pressure, Ms. Stark should wear which shoes? P = F A Gas pressure is caused by _________ with the _____ of the container. Like density collisions P = F A P = F A walls

Atmospheric Pressure: weight of air per area empty space (a vacuum) weight of Hg h 760 mm Atmospheric Pressure (weight of air) Atmospheric Pressure: weight of air per area

You can’t drink through the straw unless the atmosphere pushes the liquid. WHY no flow?

Units at Sea Level: 1 atm 760 mmHg 760 torr 101.3 kPa 1 Pascal = Same pressure as a large truck in one inch 1 Pascal = 1 Newton of force 1 m2 of area 14.7 psi

Pressure Conversions 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 101.3 kpa What is 475 mmHg expressed in atm? What is 103 kPa expressed in atm? 1 atm = 760 mmHg 475 mmHg x 0.625 atm 103 kPa x 1 atm = 101.3 kPa 1.02 atm

Pressure Conversions 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 101.3 kpa What is 720 mmHg expressed in kPa? 4. What is 2.30 atm expressed in torr? 101.3 kPa = 760 mmHg 720 mmHg x 96.0 kPa 2.30 atm x 760 torr = 1 atm 1748 torr
