28 The Combined Gas Law FThis law combines the inverse proportion of Boyle’s Law with the direct proportions of Charles’, Gay-Lussac’s, and Avogadro’s Laws. FP 1 V 1 /(n 1 T 1 ) = P 2 V 2 /(n 2 T 2 ) For FP 1 V 1 /T 1 = P 2 V 2 /T 2 FThis law combines the inverse proportion of Boyle’s Law with the direct proportions of Charles’, Gay-Lussac’s, and Avogadro’s Laws.

30 Another Example FA sample of hydrogen has a volume of 12.8 liters at 104 o F and 2.40 atm. What is the volume at STP?

31 The answer is: FP 1 V 1 /(n 1 T 1 ) = P 2 V 2 /(n 2 T 2 ) FP 1 =2.40atm,V 1 =12.8L, T 1 =104 o F=40 o C=313K, T 2 =273K, P 2 =1atm, n 1 =n 2 F(2.4atm)(12.8L)/(313K) = (1atm)V 2 /(273K) FV 2 = 26.8 L FP 1 V 1 /(n 1 T 1 ) = P 2 V 2 /(n 2 T 2 ) FP 1 =2.40atm,V 1 =12.8L, T 1 =104 o F=40 o C=313K, T 2 =273K, P 2 =1atm, n 1 =n 2 F(2.4atm)(12.8L)/(313K) = (1atm)V 2 /(273K) FV 2 = 26.8 L

32 The Ideal Gas Law FIf, P 1 V 1 /(n 1 T 1 ) = P 2 V 2 /(n 2 T 2 ) FThen PV/(nT) = constant FThat constant is R, the ideal gas law constant. FR =.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) FR = 8.314 J/(mol*K) FSo, PV=nRT FIf, P 1 V 1 /(n 1 T 1 ) = P 2 V 2 /(n 2 T 2 ) FThen PV/(nT) = constant FThat constant is R, the ideal gas law constant. FR =.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) FR = 8.314 J/(mol*K) FSo, PV=nRT

33 But what about…  Since n = m/ M, we can substitute into PV = nRT and get  PV M = mRT FSince D = m/V, we can substitute in again and get  P M = DRT  Since n = m/ M, we can substitute into PV = nRT and get  PV M = mRT FSince D = m/V, we can substitute in again and get  P M = DRT

41 ALL OF THEM! FDalton’s Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure of a system is equal to the sum of the partial (or individual) pressures of each component.

43 An important example FA sample of CaCO 3 is heated, releasing CO 2, which is collected over water (a typical practice). FThe pressure in the collection bottle is the sum of the pressure of the CO 2 plus the pressure of the water vapor (since some water always evaporates). FP total = P CO2 + P H2O

44 Sample Water Vapor Pressures

49 Temperature and Kinetic Energy FEarlier, I stated that temperature is a relative measure of molecular motion. FBy definition, Kinetic energy is a measure of the energy of motion. FPretty similar right? FEarlier, I stated that temperature is a relative measure of molecular motion. FBy definition, Kinetic energy is a measure of the energy of motion. FPretty similar right?

50 Yes they are FKE av = 3/2*R*T FThe average kinetic energy depends only on the absolute temperature. FR, the Ideal Gas Law Constant, should be 8.314 J/molK, since we will want the energy in the proper SI unit of Joules. FKE av = 3/2*R*T FThe average kinetic energy depends only on the absolute temperature. FR, the Ideal Gas Law Constant, should be 8.314 J/molK, since we will want the energy in the proper SI unit of Joules.

51 A Thought Question FWhich of the following ideal gases would have the largest average kinetic energy at 25 o C? He, N 2, CO, or H 2

52 They are all the same! FSince Ke av = 3/2*R*T, the mass does not make a difference (ideally). FKE = 3/2*(8.314J/molK)*(298K) FKE = 3716 J/mol FSince Ke av = 3/2*R*T, the mass does not make a difference (ideally). FKE = 3/2*(8.314J/molK)*(298K) FKE = 3716 J/mol

53 Speed vs Kinetic Energy In physics, you learned that KE = 1/2*m*v 2. The velocity, v, describes the speed of an object in a specific direction. If the mass, m, is measured in kg and the velocity is measured in m/s, then the kinetic energy would be measured in Joules.

54 Physics to Chemistry FRewriting the physics version, we could say that v=√(2*KE/m). FIn chemistry, the Kinetic energy is measured in J/mol, so the mass would have to be measured in Kg/mol which is essentially molar mass. FRewriting the physics version, we could say that v=√(2*KE/m). FIn chemistry, the Kinetic energy is measured in J/mol, so the mass would have to be measured in Kg/mol which is essentially molar mass.

55 Root Mean Square Speed FIn Chemistry, we are not worried about velocities in multiple directions. We want an average speed independent of direction. FWe call this V rms - the root mean square speed.  V rms = √(3RT/ M ) FIn Chemistry, we are not worried about velocities in multiple directions. We want an average speed independent of direction. FWe call this V rms - the root mean square speed.  V rms = √(3RT/ M )

56 A Thought Question Revisited FWhich of the following ideal gases would have the largest root mean square speed at 25 o C? He, N 2, CO, or H 2

57 This Time They Are Different  V rms = √(3RT/ M )  For He, V rms = √(3RT/ M ) = √(3*8.314J/molK*298K)/4g/mol = 1363 m/s  For N 2, V rms = √(3RT/ M ) = √(3*8.314J/molK*298K)/28g/mol = 515 m/s FSince the molar mass is the same for N 2 and CO, their V rms would be the same, 515 m/s.  For H 2, V rms = √(3RT/ M ) = √(3*8.314J/molK*298K)/2g/mol = 1928 m/s FBecause H 2 is the lightest, it moves the fastest.  V rms = √(3RT/ M )  For He, V rms = √(3RT/ M ) = √(3*8.314J/molK*298K)/4g/mol = 1363 m/s  For N 2, V rms = √(3RT/ M ) = √(3*8.314J/molK*298K)/28g/mol = 515 m/s FSince the molar mass is the same for N 2 and CO, their V rms would be the same, 515 m/s.  For H 2, V rms = √(3RT/ M ) = √(3*8.314J/molK*298K)/2g/mol = 1928 m/s FBecause H 2 is the lightest, it moves the fastest.

58 And this leads us to… FGraham’s Law FThe rate of effusion (or diffusion) is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass. FEffusion is the process of a gas escaping from one container through a small opening. FDiffusion is the process of a gas spreading out in a large container. FGraham’s Law FThe rate of effusion (or diffusion) is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass. FEffusion is the process of a gas escaping from one container through a small opening. FDiffusion is the process of a gas spreading out in a large container. Rate 1 *√ M 1 = Rate 2 *√ M 2

59 Rate vs. Speed FWhen we say rate, we are talking about an amount of gas (moles, grams, or even liters) per unit of time. FThis is not the same as speed which is distance over time. FHowever, the main idea is the same; lighter gases move/effuse faster. FWhen we say rate, we are talking about an amount of gas (moles, grams, or even liters) per unit of time. FThis is not the same as speed which is distance over time. FHowever, the main idea is the same; lighter gases move/effuse faster.

60 For example FUnder a given set of conditions, oxygen diffuses at 10 L/hr. A different gas diffuses at 20 L/hr under the same conditions. What is the molar mass of this gas?

61 2 ways to solve this FBy the equation:  Rate 1 *√ M 1 = Rate 2 *√ M 2  10 L/hr(√32g/mol) = 40 L/hr *√ M 2  M 2 = 2 g/mol FBy Logic: FIf the rate of the unknown gas is 4 times faster, it must be 4 2, or 16, times lighter. F32 g/mol divided by 16 is 2 g/mol. FBy the equation:  Rate 1 *√ M 1 = Rate 2 *√ M 2  10 L/hr(√32g/mol) = 40 L/hr *√ M 2  M 2 = 2 g/mol FBy Logic: FIf the rate of the unknown gas is 4 times faster, it must be 4 2, or 16, times lighter. F32 g/mol divided by 16 is 2 g/mol.

62 Real vs. Ideal FAt the start of the presentation, we talked about the major assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory. FIf a gas obeys the KMT, it is ideal. FIf it doesn’t obey the KMT, it is real. FAt the start of the presentation, we talked about the major assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory. FIf a gas obeys the KMT, it is ideal. FIf it doesn’t obey the KMT, it is real.

63 So What does that Mean? FThe molecules of an ideal gas do not interact with one another, except to collide elastically. FThe molecules of a real gas will interact, to some degree. FSince no gases are always ideal, the trick is to make a real gas behave ideally. FThe molecules of an ideal gas do not interact with one another, except to collide elastically. FThe molecules of a real gas will interact, to some degree. FSince no gases are always ideal, the trick is to make a real gas behave ideally.

64 Real Gases Behaving Ideally FIf we don’t want the molecules attracting or repelling one another, the first issue is to use a nonpolar gas. FIf we use smaller amounts of the gas, there are less chances of them interacting. FIf we don’t want the molecules attracting or repelling one another, the first issue is to use a nonpolar gas. FIf we use smaller amounts of the gas, there are less chances of them interacting.

65 Real Gases Behaving Ideally FIf we put the gas in larger volumes, the molecules will not interact as much. FLikewise, if we keep the gas under low pressure, the molecules will not interact as much. FThis could also be stated by having molecules that have low densities.

FThis could also be stated by having molecules that have low densities.

66 Real Gases Behaving Ideally FThe smaller the molecules, the less likely they are to interact. FLastly, at higher temperatures the molecules are moving too fast to actually interact with one another - they are more likely to collide elastically.
