Document Summary

Let"s look at a certain amount of gas, e. g. trapped inside a balloon. To completely describe the state of this gas one has to specify the following quantities: Units: l 1 l = 10-3 m3 (remember that l is not a si unit) The kelvin scale is the absolute temperature scale. To convert c to k we simply add 273 (actually it is 273. 15, but in most cases 273 will do) Example: 25 c = (25 + 273) k = 298 k. Units: force per area 1pa (pascal) = 1 n/m2. Mhw mostly uses atm, we will use kpa, to be consistent across chem1050 / 1024. A mercury barometer can be used for measuring gas pressure. Normal pressure corresponds to 101. 3 kpa = 760 mm hg ( =1 atm). The hg level will be lower when you move this device from the basement to the third floor, or when a rainstorm is moving in (why?)
