I. Physical Properties Gases

A. Kinetic Molecular Theory b Particles in an ideal gas… have no volume. The particles in a gas are very far apart. have elastic collisions. are in constant, random, straight- line motion. don’t attract or repel each other. have an avg. KE directly related to Kelvin temperature.

B. Real Gases b Particles in a REAL gas… have their own volume attract each other b Gas behavior is most ideal… at low pressures at high temperatures

C. Characteristics of Gases b Gases expand to fill any container. b Gases have very low densities. no volume = lots of empty space

C. Characteristics of Gases b Gases can be compressed. b Gases undergo diffusion & effusion. random motion

D. Temperature ºF ºC K K = ºC b Always use the Kelvin scale when working with gases.

II. The Gas Laws Gases

A. Boyle’s Law b The pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related at constant mass & temp This means that when pressure increases, volume decreases and vice versa! P V PV = k

A. Boyle’s Law

V T B. Charles’ Law b The volume and absolute temperature (K) of a gas are directly related at constant mass & pressure When temperature increases, volume increases

B. Charles’ Law

P T C. Gay-Lussac’s Law b The pressure and absolute temperature (K) of a gas are directly related at constant mass & volume When temp. increases, pressure increases
