P₁V₁=P₂V₂

the P of a fixed amount of gas at a constant T is inversely proportional to the V of gas

V₁/T₁=V₂/T2

• V at a constant P is directly proportional to T

V₁/n₁=V₂/n₂

V is directly proportional to n

PV=nRT

Boyle's + Charles' laws

law of partial pressures - the total P of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the P that would be exerted by each gas if it occupied the space on its own

P₁ = X₁P_total

The average KE of gas molecules is proportional to the gas's TEMPERATURE

KE = 1/2 mv²

• gases are:
• composed of separate molecules
• in constant motion
• do not exert attractive/repulsive forces on one another

Graham's law of diffusion/effusion

r₁/r₂ =

• r= rate of diffusion
• M= molar mass

• properties of solutions; 
• depend on the conectrations of different parts of the solution

the vapor pressure of a solvent (P₁) over a solution is given by the vapor pressure of the pure solvent (P₁^o) times the mole fraction (X₁) the solvent in the solution

P₁ = X₁P₁^o

rate = 

if an external stress is applied to a system, the system responds by adjusting the reaction in a way that offsets the stress as the system achieves a new equilibrium
