2. The Unique Gas Phase • Physical properties of a gas are nearly independent of its chemical identity! • Gas behavior is markedly different than solid or liquid behavior and have lower densities than the liquid and solids. • They assume the volume and shape of their containers. • They are the most compressible state of matters • Gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to the same container. Pressure • Pressure is simply a force exerted over a surface area.

3. 10 miles 0.2 atm 4 miles 0.5 atm Sea level 1 atm

4. Atmospheric Pressure • Patm is simply the weight of the earth’s atmosphere pulled down by gravity. • Barometers are used to monitor daily changes in Patm.

5. In the lab, we use manometers to measure pressures of gas samples.

6. Units of Pressure • we have units such as torr and mm Hg. • The derived SI unit for pressure is N/m2, known as the pascal (Pa). • Standard conditions for gases (STP) occurs at 1 atm and 0 °C. Under these conditions, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L. • Note that 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr = 101.325kPa =101,325Pa and 1000Pa= 1KPa

7. Kinetic-Molecular Theory postulates • Gas consists of large number of particles (e.g atoms, molecules ) (that are hard spheres) separated by large distances compared to their diameters (the particles are negligibly small in size). The volume of each particle is so small that we assume they have mass but but have negligible volume. • ) Gas molecules exert neither attractive nor repulsive forces on one another.(i.e No forces between particles except when they collide). • Gas particles are in constant, rapid, straight-line motion in random directions. • Gas particles colliding with each other and with containers wall in a perfectly elastic(i.e K.E is transferred without loss from one particle to the other. total K.E is constant) manner and particles continue in straight lines after collisions but changing direction.

8. Kinetic-Molecular Theory postulates 5) The average kinetic energy (a measure of particles speed) of a particle is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas. i.e Any two gases at the same temperature will have the same average kinetic energy

9. Imagining a Sample of Gas • We imagine a sample of gas – chaos, molecules bumping into each other constantly. • After a collision, 2 molecules may stop completely until another collision makes them move again. • Some molecules moving really fast, others really slow. • But, there is an average speed.

10. Gas Molecular Speeds • As temp increases, avg. speed increases. • i.e. avg. KE is related to temp!! • Any 2 gases at same temp will have same avg. KE!

11. Why Do Gas Laws Work So Well? • Recall that the gas laws apply to any gas – the chemical identity is not important. • Gas particles only interact when they collide. Since this interaction is so short, chemical properties don’t have time to take effect!!

12. Volume and Pressure – Boyle’s Law • The volume of a gas is inversely related to pressure, i.e. if P increases, V decreases. P Pa 1/V P x V = constant P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

13. VI. Explaining Boyle’s Law

14. Volume and Temperature – Charles’s Law • The volume of a gas is directly related to its temperature, i.e. if T is increased, V will increase. VaT V = constant x T V1/T1 = V2/T2

15. VI. Explaining Charles’s Law

16. As T increases V increases

17. 1.54 L x 398.15 K V2 x T1 = 3.20 L V1 A sample of carbon monoxide gas occupies 3.20 L at 125 0C. At what temperature will the gas occupy a volume of 1.54 L if the pressure remains constant? V1/T1 = V2/T2 V1 = 3.20 L V2 = 1.54 L T1 = 398.15 K T2 = ? T2 = = 192 K charles law demonstration - Google Videos Giant Koosh Ball in Liquid Nitrogen! - YouTube

18. Volume and Moles – Avogadro’s Law • The pressure of a gas is directly related to the number of moles of gas, i.e. if n increases, V will increase. Va number of moles (n) V = constant x n V1/n1 = V2/n2

19. 4NH3 + 5O2 4NO + 6H2O 1 volume NH3 1 volume NO 1 mole NH3 1 mole NO Ammonia burns in oxygen to form nitric oxide (NO) and water vapor. How many volumes of NO are obtained from one volume of ammonia at the same temperature and pressure? At constant T and P

20. Explaining Avogadro’s Law

21. Mixtures of Gases • Dalton's law of partial pressure states: • the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases.

22. The Combined Gas Law • Boyle’s and Charles’s Laws can be combined into a convenient form.

23. R = 0.082058 L atm/K mole The Ideal Gas Law • The ideal gas law is a combination of the combined gas law and Avogadro’s Law.

24. Boyle’s law: V a (at constant n and T) Va nT nT nT P P P V = constant x = R 1 P Ideal Gas Law Charles’ law: VaT(at constant n and P) Avogadro’s law: V a n(at constant P and T) R is the gas constant PV = nRT

25. The conditions 0 0C and 1 atm are called standard temperature and pressure (STP). Experiments show that at STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.414 L. R = (1 atm)(22.414L) PV = nT (1 mol)(273.15 K) Numerical value of R PV = nRT R = 0.082057 L • atm / (mol • K)

26. Gas Law Problems • There are many variations on gas law problems. • A few things to keep in mind: • Temperature must be in Kelvin (0C +273) • Pressure=force/surface area • Volume(available)=V(container)-V(particles)1L=1000cm3=10-3m3 • If problem involves a set of initial and final conditions, use combined gas law. • If problem only gives information for one set of conditions, use ideal gas law.
