Gases doing all of these things!

2. Kinetic Theory of Gases The basic assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory are:
Gases are mostly empty space
The molecules in a gas are separate, very small and very far apart

3. Kinetic Theory of Gases The basic assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory are:
Gas molecules are in constant, chaotic motion
Collisions between gas molecules are elastic (there is no energy gain or loss)

4. Kinetic Theory of Gases The basic assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory are:
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
Gas pressure is caused by collisions of molecules with the walls of the container

5. Measurements of Gases
To describe a gas, its volume, amount, temperature, and pressure are measured.
Volume: measured in L, mL, cm3 (1 mL = 1 cm3)
Amount: measured in moles (mol), grams (g)
Temperature: measured in KELVIN (K)
K = ºC + 273
Pressure: measured in mm Hg, torr, atm, etc.
P = F / A (force per unit area)

6. P = F /A Moderate Force (about 100 lbs) Small Area (0.0625 in2)
Enormous Pressure (1600 psi)

7. Large Surface Area (lots of nails)

8. Units of Pressure Units of Pressure: 1 atm = 760 mm Hg
1 atm = 760 torr
1 atm = x 105 Pa
1 atm = kPa
1 atm = bar

9. Boyle’s Law
For a given number of molecules of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with the pressure.
As P, V (when T and n are constant) and vice versa…. INVERSE RELATIONSHIP
V  1/P
P1V1 = P2V2

10. P1V1 = P2V2 (1.2 atm)(12 L) = (3.6 atm)V2 V2 = 4.0 L
Example: A sample of gas occupies 12 L under a pressure of 1.2 atm. What would its volume be if the pressure were increased to 3.6 atm? (assume temp is constant)
P1V1 = P2V2
(1.2 atm)(12 L) = (3.6 atm)V2
V2 = 4.0 L

11. Charles’ Law
Jacques Charles ( )
The volume of a given number of molecules
is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
As T, V  (when P and n are constant) and vice versa…. DIRECT RELATIONSHIP
V  T

12. V1 / T1= V2 / T2 (117 mL) / (373 K) = (234 mL) / T2 T2 = 746 K
Example: A sample of nitrogen gas occupies 117 mL at 100.°C. At what temperature would it occupy 234 mL if the pressure does not change? (express answer in K and °C)
V1 / T1= V2 / T2
(117 mL) / (373 K) = (234 mL) / T2
T2 = 746 K
T2 = 473 ºC

13. Combined gas law
Combining Boyle’s law (pressure-volume) with Charles’ Law (volume-temp): OR
This is for one gas undergoing changing conditions of temp, pressure, and volume.

14. (985 torr)(105 L)(273K) = (760torr)(V2)(300K)

V1 = 105 L
T1 = 27 °C = 300. K
P2 = 1 atm = 760 torr
V2 = ?
T2 = 0 °C = 273 K
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
(985 torr)(105 L)(273K) = (760torr)(V2)(300K)
V2= 124 L

15. (80.0kPa)(10.0L)(T2) = (107kPa)(20.0L)(513K)
Example 2: A sample of gas occupies 10.0 L at 240°C under a pressure of 80.0 kPa. At what temperature would the gas occupy 20.0 L if we increased the pressure to 107 kPa?
P1 = 80.0 kPa
V1 = 10.0 L
T1 = 240 °C = 513 K
P2 = 107 kPa
V2 = 20.0 L
T2 = ?
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
(80.0kPa)(10.0L)(T2) = (107kPa)(20.0L)(513K)
T2= 1372K≈ 1370K

16. Example 3: A sample of oxygen gas occupies 23. 2 L at 22. 2 °C and 1
Example 3: A sample of oxygen gas occupies 23.2 L at 22.2 °C and 1.3 atm. At what pressure (in mm Hg) would the gas occupy 11.6 L if the temperature were lowered to 12.5 °C?
P1 = 1.3 atm = 988 mmHg
V1 = 23.2 L
T1 = 22.2 °C = K
P2 = ?
V2 = 11.6 L
T2 = 12.5 °C = K
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
(988mm Hg)(23.2L)(285.5K) = (P2)(11.6L)(295.2K)
P2= 1938 mm Hg ≈ 1900 mmHg

17. Gases: Standard Molar Volume & The Ideal Gas Law
Avogadro’s Law: at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain the same # of molecules (& moles).
Standard molar volume = 22.4
This is true of “ideal” gases at reasonable temperatures and pressures ,the behavior of many “real” gases is nearly ideal.

18. Example: 1. 00 mole of a gas occupies 36. 5 L, and its density is 1

31. Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions
In a mixture of gases each gas exerts the pressure it would exert if it occupied the volume alone.
The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases:
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + …

32. Notice the two gases are measured at the same temp. and vol.
