3. The Kinetic-Molecular Theory
KMT is based on the motions of gas particles.
A gas that behaves exactly as outlined by KMT is known as an ideal gas.
While no ideal gases are found in nature, real gases can approximate ideal gas behavior under certain conditions of temperature and pressure.

4. Principle Assumptions of the KMT
Gases consist of tiny subatomic particles.
The distance between particles is large compared with the size of the particles themselves.
Gas particles have no attraction for one another.

5. Principle Assumptions of the KMT
Gas particles move in straight lines in all directions, colliding frequently with one another and with the walls of the container.
No energy is lost by the collision of a gas particle with another gas particle or with the walls of the container. All collisions are perfectly elastic.

6. Principle Assumptions of the KMT
The average kinetic energy for particles is the same for all gases at the same temperature, and its value is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

7. Kinetic Energy

8. mH = 2 mO = 32 vH vO = 1 4 Kinetic Energy
All gases have the same average kinetic energy at the same temperature.
As a result lighter molecules move faster than heavier molecules. mH 2
= 2 mO 2
= 32 vH 2 vO = 1 4

9. Diffusion
The ability of two or more gases to mix spontaneously until they form a uniform mixture.
Stopcock closed No diffusion occurs
Stopcock open Diffusion occurs

10. Effusion
A process by which gas molecules pass through a very small orifice from a container at higher pressure to one at lower pressure.

11. Graham’s Law of Effusion
The rates of effusion of two gases at the same temperature and pressure are inversely proportional to the square roots of their densities, or molar masses.

12. What is the ratio of the rate of effusion of CO to CO2?

13. Measurement of Pressure of Gases

14. Pressure equals force per unit area.

15. The pressure resulting from the collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the balloon keeps the balloon inflated.

16. The pressure exerted by a gas depends on the
Number of gas molecules present.
Temperature of the gas.
Volume in which the gas is confined.

20. Dependence of Pressure on Number of Molecules and Temperature
Pressure is produced by gas molecules colliding with the walls of a container.
At a specific temperature and volume, the number of collisions depends on the number of gas molecules present.
For an ideal gas the number of collisions is directly proportional to the number of gas molecules present.

21. The pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules present.
V = 22.4 L T = OoC

22. Dependence of Pressure on Temperature
The pressure of a gas in a fixed volume increases with increasing temperature.
When the pressure of a gas increases, its kinetic energy increases.
The increased kinetic energy of the gas results in more frequent and energetic collisions of the molecules with the walls of the container.

23. Kinetic Energy

24. Lower T Lower P Higher T Higher P
Increased pressure is due to more frequent and more energetic collisions of the gas molecules with the walls of the container at the higher temperature.
The pressure of a gas in a fixed volume increases with increasing temperature.
