Particles in a gas are very far apart, and have almost no interaction.› Ex: In a sample of air, only 0.1% of the

total volume actually consists of matter.

Gases expand spontaneously to fill their container (have indefinite volume and shape.)

Partial pressure: P exerted by a particular component in a mixture of gases

When a gas is bubbled through water, the vapor pressure of the water (partial pressure of the water) must be subtracted from the pressure of the collected gas:

PT = Pgas + PH2O

∴ Pgas = PT – PH2O

20

See Appendix B for vapor pressures of water at different temperatures.

* Formulated by Bernoulli in 1738

Assumptions:1. Gases consist of particles (atoms

or molecules) that are point masses. No volume - just a mass.

2. Gas particles travel linearly until colliding ‘elastically’ (do not stick together).

3. Gas particles do not experience intermolecular forces.

A gas deviates from ideal:› As the particles get larger (van der Waal’s “b”)› As the e- become more widely spread out (van

The most nearly ideal gas is He.
