Chapter 13

2. 13.1 – The Gas Laws Kinetic Theory = assumes that gas particles:
do not repel or attract each other
are much smaller than the distances between them (particles have no volume)
are in constant, random motion (straight lines)
have completely elastic collisions (no loss of KE)
Have the same average KE at a given temp.
Nature of gases = determined by pressure, temperature, volume, and number of particles

3. 13.1 – The Gas Laws Our variables = Pressure (P)
Temperature (T) – Must be in Kelvin!
Volume (V)
Amount of particles/number of moles (n)
Gas constant - R

4. 13.1 – The Gas Laws Boyle’s Law = P1V1 = P2V2
Studied relationship between pressure and volume of a gas
At a given temp., volume and pressure are inversely related
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 and V1 are initial conditions
P2 and V2 are new conditions

5. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)

6. 13.1 – The Gas Laws Steps for solving gas law problems =
Identify all variables.
Analyze the problem. “Which equation should I use?”
Rearrange the equation to solve for the unknown variable.
Plug in the numbers from step 1 into the equation from step 3  solve!

7. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
A sample of helium gas in a balloon is compressed from 4.0 L to 2.5 L at a constant temperature. If the pressure of the gas in the 4.0-L volume is 210 kPa, what will the pressure be at 2.5 L?

8. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
Identify all variables.
T=constant P1=210 kPa
V1=4.0 L P2=?
V2=2.5 L
Which equation should I use?
We know P and V. Boyle’s Law: P1V1=P2V2
Rearrange the equation.
To solve for P2, divide both sides by V2:
Plug in numbers from #1 into equation from #3:

9. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Boyle’s Law)
The volume of a gas at 99.0 kPa is mL. If the pressure is increased to 188 kPa, what will be the new volume?
Air trapped in a cylinder fitted with a piston occupies mL at 1.08 atm pressure. What is the new volume of air when the pressure is increased to 1.43 atm by applying force to the piston?

10. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Charles’s Law)
Studied relationship between volume and temperature of a gas
At a given pressure, volume and temperature are directly related .
V1 and T1= initial cond.

12. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Charles’s Law)
A gas sample at 40.0°C occupies a volume of 2.32 L. If the temperature is raised to 75.0°C, what will the volume be, assuming the pressure remains constant?
A gas at 89°C occupies a volume of 0.67 L. At what Celsius temperature will the volume increase to 1.12 L?

13. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Gay-Lussac’s Law)
Studied the relationship between temperature and pressure of a gas
At a given volume, temperature and pressure are directly related .
P1 and T1 = initial cond.
P2 and T2 = new cond.

15. 13.1 – The Gas Laws (Gay-Lussac’s Law)
The pressure of a gas in a tank is 3.20 atm at 22.0°C. If the temperature rises to 60.0°C, what will be the gas pressure in the tank?
A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 125 kPa at a temperature of 30.0°C. If the pressure in the container is increased to 201 kPa, what is the new temperature?

16. 13.2 – The Combined Gas Law
Combines all four equations together into one that relates temperature, pressure, and volume:

17. 13.2 – The Combined Gas Law
A gas at 110 kPa and 30.0°C fills a flexible container with an initial volume of 2.00 L. If the temperature is raised to 80.0°C and the pressure increased to 440 kPa, what is the new volume?
At 0.00°C and 1.00 atm pressure, a sample of gas occupies 30.0 mL. If the temperature is increased to 30.0°C and the entire gas sample is transferred to a 20.0-mL container, what will be the gas pressure inside the container?

18. 13.2 – Avogadro’s Principle
Avogadro’s principle = equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles
STP=Standard Temperature and Pressure, 0°C (273 K) and 1 atm
**One mole of any gas will occupy 22.4 L at STP
Now we can convert from liters to moles!

19. 13.2 – Avogadro’s Principle
Calculate the volume that mol of a gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) will occupy.
How many moles of nitrogen gas will be contained in a 2.00-L flask at STP?

20. 13.3 – The Ideal Gas Law
All other gas laws apply to “a fixed mass” or “a given amount”
Changing the number of gas particles affects other variables
Increasing the number of particles will…
Increase P (if T and V are constant)
Increase V (if T and P are constant)
We need a new equation that includes amount of gas present

21. 13.3 – The Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT P = pressure V = volume
n = number of moles of gas present
R = ideal gas constant (depends on units of P)

22. 13.3 – The Ideal Gas Law
Calculate the number of moles of gas contained in a 3.0-L vessel at 3.00 x 102 K with a pressure of 1.50 atm.
Determine the kelvin temperature required for mol of gas to fill a balloon to 1.20 L under atm pressure.

23. 13.3 – The Ideal Gas Law So what’s an ideal gas anyway?
Its particles don’t take up space and have no intermolecular attractive forces
Follows the gas laws under all conditions of T and P
**In the real world, NO gas is truly ideal! 
When do real gases not behave as “ideal” gases?
At high P and low T  we can compress them into liquids
Ex. Propane and liquid nitrogen
