IB Chemistry S1.5 Ideal Gases Key Definitions

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature and for a fixed amount of gas, pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

Charles's law states that at constant pressure and for a fixed amount of gas, volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature (in Kelvin).

Gay-Lussac's law states that at constant volume and for a fixed amount of gas, pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature (in Kelvin).

Intermolecular forces are the electrostatic attractions between molecules.

The molar volume of a gas is the volume occupied by one mole of an ideal gas under specific conditions of temperature and pressure.

The system is the specific part of the universe under study (e.g., the reactants and products involved in the reaction).
