Outline

I. Gases & Gas Laws- Kinetic Molecular Theory- Simple variable relationships

- Ideal/Combined Gas Law

States of Matter - solid, liquid, gas

Gaseous State

Characterized by dominance of kinetic energy over potential energy Gas particles have enough kinetic energy to move

far apart from each other. There is very little attraction between particles

Four Important Gas Variables

1. n = number of moles 2. T = temperature; must be in Kelvin!

K = oC + 273.15 3. V = Volume 4. P = Pressure = force/area

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Relationship Between Pressure and Volume (Boyle’s Law) When the pressure is increased on a gas, its volume goes down.

PV = constant (T fixed)

useful form: P1V1 = P2V2

Volume/Pressure Calculation A balloon is inflated to a volume of 12.6L on a day when the

atmospheric pressure is 675 mm Hg. The next day, a storm drops the pressure to 651 mm Hg. Assuming constant temperature, what is the new volume of the balloon?

Relationship Between Temperature and Volume (Charles’ Law) When the temperature (K) is increased on a gas, its volume

goes up by a constant: V/T = constant (P fixed)

useful form: V1/T1 = V2/T2

Volume/Temperature Calculation The volume of a sample of air at 30. oC is 3.50 L. Assume that

the pressure is held constant. What would be the volume of air at 300. oC?

Relationship between Temperature and Pressure (Gay-Lussac’s Law) When the temperature (K) is increased on a gas, its pressure

goes up as a constant: P/T = constant (V fixed)

Useful form: P1/T1 = P2/T2

When the Temperature increases, gas molecules are moving faster and hitting the sides of their container more….creating more pressure….according to KMT!

Pressure/Temperature Calculations Consider a container with a volume of 22.4 L filled with a gas at

1.00 atm at 273 K. What will be the new pressure if the

temperature increases to 298 K?

P1/T1 = P2/T2

P1 = 1.00atm, T1 = 273K

P2 = ? T2 = 298K

P2 = (1.00atm)(298K) = 1.09atm (273K)

Avogadro’s Law: Volume and MolesIn Avogadro’s Law: The volume of a gas is

directly related to the number of moles of gas

T and P are constant

V1 = V2

n1 n2

If 0.75 mol of helium gas occupies a volume of 1.5 L, what volume will 1.2 mol of helium occupy at the same temperature and pressure?

1) 0.94 L

2) 1.8 L

3) 2.4 L

V2 = (1.5L)(1.2mol)

(0.75mol)

The volumes of gases can be compared when they have the same conditions of temperature and pressure (STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure).

Standard temperature (T) 0°C or 273 K

Standard pressure (P) 1 atm (760 mm Hg)

STP

Molar Volume

At standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mol of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L, which is called its molar volume.

The molar volume at STP can be used to form conversion factors.

22.4 L and 1 mol

1 mol 22.4 L

Molar Volume as a Conversion Factor

A. What is the volume at STP of 4.00 g of CH4?

B. How many grams of He are present in 8.00 L of gas

at STP?

Important Simple Gas Relationships Boyles Law P1V1 = P2V2 (T fixed)

STP - Standard Temperature and Pressure (Gases)

T = 273 K (0 oC) and P = 1 atm (760 mmHg)

1 mole of a gas at STP = 22.4L

Combined Gas Laws

Relates the changes in pressure, volume and temperature, and quantity change of a gas

PV = constant

nT

Useful form of the expression:

P1V1 = P2V2

n1T1 n2T2

Combined Gas Law Practice A fixed quantity of nitrogen gas in a 275 mL

container at a pressure of 625 mm Hg is transferred to a container with a volume of 750. mL. What is the new pressure if the temperature changes from 25 oC to 17 oC?

Ideal Gas Law

Let’s now solve for the constant:

PV/nT = constant = R

One set of conditions we know - 1 mole of a gas at STP. (atm L/mol K)

The Ideal Gas Law

Describes the relationships among the four variables for gaseous substances: P, T, V, n PV = nRT

R is called the ideal gas constant 0.0821 atm·L/mol·K Always make sure you have all your units correct!
