Ideal Gases & Laws of Thermodynamics
(It’s a notes-heavy kinda day, sorry)

3. Coming up
Thursday 1/23 = TEST
Friday, 1/24 = Raytheon

4. IDEAL GASES

5. Ideal Gas Law
a hypothetical gas whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions, and that consequently obeys the gas laws exactly. Gas laws…? Such as…

6. Boyle's Law 
AKA the pressure-volume law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.

7. Charles’ Law
AKA the temperature-volume law, this law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

8. Gay-Lussac's Law: The Pressure Temperature Law
This law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

9. Avogadro's Law AKA The Volume Amount Law
Gives the relationship between volume and amount when pressure and temperature are held constant.  Remember amount is measured in moles.  Also, since volume is one of the variables, that means the container holding the gas is flexible in some way and can expand or contract.
If the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases.  If the amount of gas in a container is decreased, the volume decreases.

10. Combine them all: the Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
Gas constant, R = J/ (mol K)

11. Sample Question 1
In a sample of an ideal gas, both the pressure and volume are doubled. What will be the effect on the temperature of the gas?

12. Sample Question 2
In a sample of an ideal gas, both the temperature and volume are doubled. What will be the effect on the volume of the gas?

13. Sample Question 3
In a sample of an ideal gas, both the pressure and temperature are doubled. What will be the effect on the volume of the gas?

14. Sample Question 4
In a sample of an ideal gas, both the pressure and volume are doubled. What will be the effect on the temperature of the gas?

15. The Laws of Thermodynamics

16. The First Law of Thermodynamics
The change in internal energy of a closed system will be equal to the energy added to the system minus the work done by the system on its surroundings.
This is the law of conservation of energy, written in a form useful to systems involving heat transfer.

17. The First Law of Thermodynamics
Short version?
Heat is work & work is heat…

18. Human Metabolism and the First Law
If we apply the first law of thermodynamics to the human body:
we know that the body can do work. If the internal energy is not to drop, there must be energy coming in. It isn’t in the form of heat; the body loses heat rather than absorbing it. Rather, it is the chemical potential energy stored in foods.

19. Human Metabolism and the First Law
The metabolic rate is the rate at which internal energy is transformed in the body.

20. The Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics is a statement about which processes occur and which do not. There are many ways to state the second law; here is one:
Heat can flow spontaneously from a hot object to a cold object; it will not flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot object.

21. The Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of is also called the Law of Entropy
Entropy is the measure of a system’s disorder

22. Heat Engines: Producing Work with Thermal Energy
This is a heat engine; mechanical energy can be obtained from thermal energy only when heat can flow from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

23. Heat Engines
A steam engine is one type of heat engine.

24. Heat Engines
The internal combustion engine is a type of heat engine as well.

25. Heat Engines Why does a heat engine need a temperature difference?
Otherwise the work done on the system in one part of the cycle will be equal to the work done by the system in another part, and the net work will be zero.

26. 2nd Law: Order to Disorder
Again, entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. This gives us yet another statement of the second law:
Natural processes tend to move toward a state of greater disorder.
Example: If you put milk and sugar in your coffee and stir it, you wind up with coffee that is uniformly milky and sweet. No amount of stirring will get the milk and sugar to come back out of solution.

27. 2nd Law: Order to Disorder
Another example: when a tornado hits a building, there is major damage. You never see a tornado approach a pile of rubble and leave a building behind when it passes.
Thermal equilibrium is a similar process – the uniform final state has more disorder than the separate temperatures in the initial state.
