1. Gas Laws

2. The Kinetic Molecular Theory Gas particles do not repel or attract each other. Gas particles are much smaller than the distances between them. Gas particles are in constant, random motion. No kinetic energy is lost when gas particles collide. All gases have the same kinetic energy at a given temperature.

3. Pressure Pressure is force applied over an area. For gases, the pressure is determined by the number of collisions with the walls of the container. Units: – atm: atmospheres – kPa: kiloPascal (= 1 N/m 2 ) – mmHg: millimeters of mercury – psi: pound force per square inch

12. The Combined Gas Law if every gas variable changed, this is the relationship Things that don’t change can cancel or drop out.

13. The Combined Gas Law if every gas variable changed, this is the relationship If amount of gas and volume stay the same, they cancel or drop out. Simplifies to

14. The Combined Gas Law if every gas variable changed, this is the relationship If amount of gas and temperature stay the same, they cancel or drop out. Simplifies to P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2

15. Let’s Practice At 20°C, the volume of a gas is 100.0 mL. The temperature is raised to 100°C. How do you expect the volume to change? It should increase Simplify the Combined Gas Law for this scenario. T1T1 V1V1 T2T2 Simplifies to

16. Let’s Practice At 20°C, the volume of a gas is 100.0 mL. The temperature is raised to 100°C. T1T1 V1V1 T2T2 +273 = 293K +273 = 373K V 2 = 127 mL Does this match your prediction? You said it would increase.

17. Let’s Practice 50.0 mL of a gas has a pressure of 740.0 mmHg when it is in a container. The pressure changes to 760.0 mmHg. How do you expect the volume to change? It should decrease Simplify the Combined Gas Law for this scenario. V1V1 P1P1 P2P2 Simplifies to P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2

18. Let’s Practice 50.0 mL of a gas has a pressure of 740.0 mmHg when it is in a container. The pressure changes to 760.0 mmHg? V1V1 P1P1 P2P2 P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 (740.0mmHg)(50.0mL) = (760.0mmHg)V 2 48.7 mL = V 2 Does this match your prediction? You said it would increase.
