Physical Chemistry — Practice Set 1

The gaseous state: the ideal gas law and its component gas laws, partial pressures and Dalton's law, the kinetic molecular theory, the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution of molecular speeds, mean speeds and kinetic energy, effusion and diffusion (Graham's law), molecular collisions and mean free path, and the behaviour of real gases (compression factor, the van der Waals equation, critical constants and the principle of corresponding states). Equations are shown in inline notation.
