Chemistry Notes Unit 7: Intro to Pressure
(1) What is Pressure? The force exerted in a given area. Force for every unit of area.
(2) What are the units for Pressure? “psi” = lbs / in2 Lbs = pounds (force) in2 = inches squared (area) “pascal” or “atm” = N / m2 N = newtons (force) m2 = meters squared (area)
(3) Pressure Units Example #1 Using the following relationships… 1 atm = 760 mm Hg 1 atm = 14.4 psi 1 atm = 101.3 kPa (kilopascal) ______________________________ Convert use factor labeling to convert 320 mmHg to atm.
(4) Pressure Units Example #2 Using the following relationships… 1 atm = 760 mm Hg 1 atm = 14.4 psi 1 atm = 101.3 kPa (kilopascal) ______________________________ Use factor labeling to convert 30.0 psi to mmHg.
(5) Factors Effecting Pressure Volume (V) Number of Particles (n) Temperature (T)
(6) Pressure Relationships Linear Relationship: Both increase, OR, Both decrease As the “factor” increases…. So does pressure Equation division (fraction) Inverse Relationship: One increases, One decreases Pressure decreases Equation multiplication
