Unit 5: Gases
and Gas Laws
2
Kinetic Molecular Theory
  • Particles of matter are ALWAYS in motion
  • Volume of individual particles is » zero.
  • Collisions of particles with container walls       cause pressure exerted by gas.
  • Particles exert no forces on each other.
  • Average kinetic energy µ Kelvin         temperature of a gas.


3
The Meaning of Temperature
  • Kelvin temperature is an index of the random motions of gas particles (higher T means greater motion.)

Pressure
  • Is caused by the collisions of molecules with the walls of a container
  • is equal to force/unit area
  • SI units = Newton/meter2 = 1 Pascal (Pa)
  • 1 standard atmosphere = 101.3 kPa
  • 1 standard atmosphere = 1 atm =
    • 760 mm Hg = 760 torr

Units of Pressure
10
The Nature of Gases
  • Gases expand to fill their containers
  • Gases are fluid – they flow
  • Gases have low density
    • 1/1000 the density of the equivalent liquid or solid
  • Gases are compressible
  • Gases effuse and diffuse
11
Standard Temperature and Pressure
“STP”
  • P = 1 atmosphere, 760 torr, 101.3 kPa
  •    T = 0°C, 273 Kelvins
  •    The molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.42 liters at STP

15
Charles’s Law
  • The volume of a gas is directly proportional to temperature, and extrapolates to zero at zero Kelvin.
      •             (P = constant)

Ideal Gas Law
  • PV = nRT
  • P = pressure in atm
  • V = volume in liters
  • n = moles
  • R = proportionality constant
    • = 0.08206 L atm/ mol·K
  • T = temperature in Kelvins

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
  • For a mixture of gases in a container,
    • PTotal  =  P1 + P2 + P3 + . . .
29
Diffusion
30
Effusion
  • Effusion:  describes the passage of gas into an evacuated chamber.
