1 GASES

2 Identify the abundances of the naturally occurring gases in the atmosphere. Describe the historical development of the measurement of pressure. Describe the various units used to measure pressure.

3 Earth’s air is composed of two types of gases: PermanentVariable Nitrogen 78.1%Water vapor 0 - 4% Oxygen 20.9%Carbon Dioxide 0.035% Argon 0.9%Methane 0.0002% Neon 0.002%Ozone 0.000004% Helium 0.0005% Krypton 0.0001% Hydrogen 0.00005%

4 Torricelli (1608-1647) developed the first barometer - measures air pressure Height of mercury supported by atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mm.

5 Pascal (1623-1662) added to Torricelli’s “barometer.” Height affects the pressure of the atmosphere. Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) observed the law of combining volumes in chemical reactions. 2 H 2 + O 2  2 H 2 O Two volumes of hydrogen combined with one volume of oxygen to form two volumes of water.

6 Manometer – measures gas pressure:

7 Vapour Pressure: P gas = P atm + h (greater than air) P gas = P atm – h (less than air)

8 UNITS

9 Dimensional Analysis Problem-solving method using relationships to change units without changing value. Relationships are made by relating two things by their equivalent "amounts" as a ratio. 1 pattyOR2 buns 2 buns 1 patty

10 Dimensional Analysis (Converting Units) : 1.Determine the unit ratio needed. 2. Multiply the base unit by the unit ratio. (make sure you have the new unit on top) 1.20 patty = ? buns 20 patties x 2 buns = 40 buns 1 patty 1 patty OR2 buns 2 buns 1 patty

12 2. 3 m = ? cm 1 m or 100 cm 100 cm 1 m 3 m x 100 cm = 300 cm 1 m

13 3. 5 kL = ? mL 1 kL and 1 L 1000 L 1000 mL 5 kL x 1000 L x 1000 mL = 5 000 000 mL 1 kL 1 L *need to multiply by TWO factors: kL  L  mL

14 1. atmosphere (atm): 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101.325 kPa 2. Pascal (Pa) – standard international (SI) units. Defined as 1 Newton of force per m 2. Use kiloPascals. 3. Millimetres of mercury (mmHg) – not common. 4. Pounds per square inch (psi) - Imperial 1 kPa is equal to 0.145 psi 1 atm is equal to 14.7 psi.

15 P gas = 762 mm + 15 mm = 777 mmHg What is the pressure of the gas in kPa? 777 mmHg x 101.3 kPa = 103.6 kPa 760 mmHg

16 Gas pressure is due to the force of gaseous particles colliding with their container. Torricelli invented the barometer to measure atmospheric pressure. Units used: mmHg, atm, kPa, psi Using a manometer: gas pressure > air pressure P gas = P atm + h gas pressure < air pressure P gas = P atm – h.
