More You RememberMore You RememberIn this state, the particles have sufficient
energy to overcome all forces that attract them to each other.
Each particle is completely separated from the others.
This results in low densities and the fact that gases completely fill the container that holds them.
Gas PressureGas PressureGases exhibit pressure on the containers
that hold them.
Pressure = Force / Area Units: N/m2 a.k.a. Pascal

Boyles LawBoyles LawP1V1 = P2V2
Pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
Examine the graph of the data:Derivative!
Data!
Charles’ LawCharles’ Law V1/T1 = V2/T2
Volume and Temperature are directly proportional.
Check out data:
All gases intersect the x axis at a temperature of 0 Kelvin(-273 oC).
At temperatures lower than 0 Kelvin, gases would have a negative volume (impossible, as is negative Kelvin degrees)
Avogadro’s LawAvogadro’s LawP1/n1 = P2/n2
Guy-Lussac’s LawGuy-Lussac’s Law P1/T1 = P2/T2
Also, at constant pressure and temperature, the volumes of gases involved in a chemical reaction are related by small whole numbers.(ie: 2 “volumes” of hydrogen and 1 “volume” of oxygen combine to form 2 “volumes” of
water…we can use volume and moles similarly when it comes to gas stoichiometry.)
Ideal Gas LawIdeal Gas Law PV = nRT
R = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol
When you hold variables constant, this equation can be manipulated into one of the others that we just talked about.
Since ideal gases don’t exist, this equation expresses the behavior a real gas approaches as pressure is lowered and temperature is increased.

Gas StoichiometryGas StoichiometryAt STP, the molar volume of a gas
is 22.4 L / mole
S.T.P.
Temperature = 273.15 K (0 oC)Pressure = 1 atm
Gas stoichiometry problems can involve a gas law and/or the molar volume of a gas.
Demo and ThoughtsDemo and Thoughts
What is inside the can?Why does this happen?Which gas law(s) does it
illustrate?
Rearrange the ideal gas law to get an equation to solve for the molar mass of a gas.
AnswerNow
Section 5.5:Section 5.5: Dalton’s Law of Partial PressureDalton’s Law of Partial Pressure
• For a mixture of gases in a container, the total pressure exerted is the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert independently.
Ptotal= P1 + P2 + P3, etc…
Air is a mixture of gases:
Pair = PN2 + PO2
+ PAr + PCO2 + PH2O
Air is a mixture of gases:
Pair = PN2 + PO2
+ PAr + PCO2 + PH2O
The law of partial pressures also works for moles.
Ptotal= (n1 + n2 +…)(RT/V)
In a mixture of ideal gases, it is the TOTAL NUMBER OF MOLES OF PARTICLES, not the identity of the substance, that determines the pressure.
Partial Pressure Try MePartial Pressure Try MeMixtures of helium and oxygen are used in
scuba diving tanks to help prevent “the bends.”
For a particular dive, 46 liters of O2 and 12 liters of He were pumped in to a 5 liter tank. Both gases were added at 1.0 atm pressure at 25oC.
Determine the partial pressure for both gases in the scuba tank at 25oC. Then, determine the total pressure in the tank.

When Gas Is Collected Over WaterWhen Gas Is Collected Over Water
• You must include the partial pressure of water in your calculations.
• The vapor pressure of water is a constant value at each temperature. (you would need to look this up on a table or it would be given to you.)
At 22oC, PH2O is 21 torr
Section 5.6:Section 5.6: Effusion and DiffusionEffusion and DiffusionEffusion occurs
when a gas passes through a small opening in a barrier.
Diffusion occurs when two gases mix randomly and spontaneously.
More on Diffusion, Effusion, More on Diffusion, Effusion, and speed of moleculesand speed of molecules• The speed of diffusion is much less than the
theoretical velocity of the gas because of COLLISIONS.
• The average speed of a gas that is effusing is proportional to the averages speed squared.

R = 8.314 J/Kmol
Even more on velocity of molecules Even more on velocity of molecules that are effusing and/or diffusingthat are effusing and/or diffusing
• Graham’s Law: The rates of the gases is proportional to the square root of the inverse of the molar masses of the gases.

Kinetic Molecular TheoryKinetic Molecular Theory
• Kinetic Molecular Theory is an attempt to describe the behavior of an ideal gas
1. The particles are so tiny and spread out that their volume is negligible.
2. Particles in constant motion collisions w/ walls cause pressure.
3. Particles exert no intermolecular force.4. Average KE is directly proportional to
Kelvin temperature.
Can we explain each gas Can we explain each gas law using KMT?law using KMT?

• Illustrates the number of particles at a given velocity and temperature.
Gases are not PerfectGases are not Perfect• Particles DO have mass and
volume• Small attractive forces between
particles ARE sometimes significant
• Higher concentration of gas, more forces
• Under extreme pressures or at low temperature, gases will condense to liq./sol.

Atmospheric ChemistryAtmospheric Chemistry• Air is a homogeneous mixture!
• The heavier gases exist in the lower atmosphere, while lighter gases are present in the upper atmosphere.
• Radon gas found in basements because it is very heavy.
• Oxygen is less prevalent at the tops of mountains.• Hydrogen is more prevalent as you gain altitude.
• Troposphere (closest to us) is most greatly impacted by our every-day routines.

• Erosion of the stone• Blackened streaks on
bricks
Why?Why?Limestone (calcium carbonate) reacts with
acid rain (sulfuric acid):
CaCO3 + H2SO4 CaSO4 + H2CO3
H2CO3 CO2 gas + H2O
Calcium sulfate is soluble in water, which means that the
limestone will wash away as the rain pours over it.
