Module 2
Measuring the System: Pressure, Temperature, and State
1
Understanding Pressure: A Molecular Approach
Explain pressure from a molecular perspective and solve problems involving absolute, gauge, and vacuum pressures.
2
Temperature, Kinetic Energy, and the Zeroth Law
Explain temperature as a measure of average molecular kinetic energy and describe the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.
3
Temperature Scales & Absolute Zero
Convert between the Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine temperature scales, and explain the concept of absolute zero.
4
Kinetic Theory and Ideal Gas Behavior
Describe the behavior of an ideal gas using the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases.
5
Solving Problems with the Ideal Gas Equation
Apply the ideal gas equation of state (PV=mRT) to solve for unknown properties in a system.
6
Dalton's Law and Ideal Gas Mixtures
Determine the properties of an ideal gas mixture using Dalton's law of partial pressures.
