• The Kinetic Theory– Moving, moving, moving,– Keep those atoms moving
The Kinetic Theory of Gases(AKA: The Kinetic Molecular Theory)
• The Kinetic Theory of Gases tries to explain the similar behaviours of different gases based on the movement of the particles that compose them.
• “Kinetic” refers to motion. The idea is that gas particles* are in constant motion.
** For simplicity, I usually call the gas particles “For simplicity, I usually call the gas particles “moleculesmolecules”, ”, although in truth, they could include atoms or ions.although in truth, they could include atoms or ions.

The Particle Model
ReviewReview
Not in textNot in text
• The Kinetic Theory is part of the Particle Model of matter, which includes the following concepts:– All matter is composed of particles (ions, atoms or
molecules) which are extremely small and have a varying space between them, depending on their state or phase.
– Particles of matter may attract or repel each other, and the force of attraction or repulsion depends on the distance that separates them.
– Particles of matter are always moving.++

Kinetic Molecular Theory
And Temperature• The absolute temperature of a gas (Kelvins) is
directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules.– In other words, when it is cold, molecules move
slowly and have lower kinetic energy.– When the temperature increases, molecules speed
up and have more kinetic energy!
Particle Motion and Phases of Matter
• Recall that:• In solids, the particles (molecules) are moving
relatively slowly. They have low kinetic energy• In liquids, molecules move faster. They have
higher kinetic energy.• In gases, the particles move fastest, and have high
kinetic energy.
• But, as we will find out later:• Heavy particles moving slowly can have the same
kinetic energy as light particles moving faster.

Kinetic Motion of Particles
• Particles (ie. Molecules) can have 3 types of motion, giving them kinetic energy– Vibrational kinetic energy (vibrating)– Rotational kinetic energy (tumbling)– Translational kinetic energy (moving)
2.1.12.1.1
Page 55Page 55
Kinetic Theory and Solids & Liquids• When it is cold, molecules move slowly• In solids, they move so slowly that they are held
in place and just vibrate (only vibrational energy)• In liquids they move a bit faster, and can tumble
and flow, but they don’t escape from the attraction of other molecules (more rotational energy, along with a little bit of vibration & translation)
• In gases they move so fast that they go everywhere in their container (more translational energy, with a little bit of rotation & vibration).
2.1.12.1.1
Page 56Page 56
Plasma, the “Fourth State”(extension material)
• When strongly heated, or exposed to high voltage or radiation, gas atoms may lose some of their electrons. As they capture new electrons, the atoms emit light—they glow. This glowing, gas-like substance is called “plasma”
Kinetic Theory and the Ideal Gas
• As scientists tried to understand how gas particles relate to the properties of gases, they saw mathematical relationships that very closely, but not perfectly, described the behaviour of many gases.
• They have developed theories and mathematical laws that describe a hypothetical gas, called “ideal gas.”
2.1.32.1.3
Page 61Page 61
• To make the physical laws (derived from kinetic equations) work, they had to make five assumptions about how molecules work.
• Four of these are listed on page 61 of your textbook
• The fifth one is not.
2.1.32.1.3
Page 61Page 61
Kinetic Theory Assumptions about an Ideal Gas
1. The particles of an ideal gas are infinitely small, so the size is negligible compared to the volume of the container holding the gas.
2. The particles of an ideal gas are in constant motion, and move in straight lines (until they collide with other particles)
3. The particles of an ideal gas do not exert any attraction or repulsion on each other.
4. The average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature.
5. Collisions between particles are perfectly elastic, ie. No energy is lost in collisions.
2.1.32.1.3
Page 61Page 61
No Gas is Ideal• Some of the assumptions on the previous
page are clearly not true.• Molecules do have a size (albeit very tiny)• Particles do exert forces on each other (slightly)
• As a result, there is no such thing as “ideal gas”
• However, the assumptions are very good approximations of the real particle properties.
• Real gases behave in a manner very close to “ideal gas”, in fact so close that we can usually assume them to be ideal for the purposes of calculations.
Other “Imaginary Features” Other “Imaginary Features” of Ideal Gasof Ideal Gas

• An ideal gas would never An ideal gas would never condense into a liquid, or freeze condense into a liquid, or freeze into a solid.into a solid.
• At absolute zero an ideal gas At absolute zero an ideal gas would occupy no space at allwould occupy no space at all.

Please Notice:• Not all molecules move at exactly the same
speed. The kinetic theory is based on averages of a great many molecules.– Even if the molecules are identical and at a uniform
temperature, a FEW will be faster than the average, and a FEW will be slower.
– If there are two different types of molecules, the heavier ones will be slower than the light ones – ON THE AVERAGE! – but there can still be variations. That means SOME heavy molecules may be moving as fast as the slowest of the light ones.
• Temperature is based on the average (mean) kinetic energy of sextillions of individual molecules.

So, Given two different gases at the same temperature…What is the same about them?
• The AVERAGE kinetic energy is the same.• Not the velocity of individual molecules• Not the mass of individual molecules.• In fact, the lighter molecules will move faster
• KE = mv2 kinetic energy of molecules
2So, kinetic energy depends on both the speed
(v) and on the mass (m) of the molecules.

Kinetic Theory Trivia• The average speed of oxygen molecules at
20°C is 1656km/h.• At that speed an oxygen molecule could travel from Montreal
to Vancouver in three hours…If it travelled in a straight line.
• Each air molecule has about 1010 (ten billion) collisions per second
• 10 billion collisions every second means they bounce around a lot!
• The number of oxygen molecules in a classroom is about:
• 722 400 000 000 000 000 000 000 000– that’s more than there are stars in the universe!
• The average distance air molecules travel between collisions is about 60nm.
– 0.00000006m is about the width of a virus.

• Behaviors of Gases– Compressibility– Expansion– Diffusion and Effusion– Graham’s Law
• 2.2.1 Compressibility:– Because the distances between particles in a
gas is relatively large, gases can be squeezed into a smaller volume.
– Compressibility makes it possible to store large amounts of a gas compressed into small tanks
• 2.2.2 Expansion:– Gases will expand to fill any container they
occupy, due to the random motion of the molecules
2.2.3 Diffusion2.2.3 Diffusion
Diffusion is the tendency for molecules to Diffusion is the tendency for molecules to move from areas of high concentration to move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration, until the areas of lower concentration, until the concentration is uniform. They do this concentration is uniform. They do this because of the random motion of the because of the random motion of the molecules.molecules.

Pressure
• Pressure is the force exerted by a gas on a surface.
• The surface that we measure the pressure on is usually the inside of the gas’s container.
• Pressure and the Kinetic Theory• Gas pressure is caused by billions of particles
moving randomly, and striking the sides of the container.
• Pressure Formula:
Pressure = force divided by area
A
FP
Atmospheric Pressure
• This is the force of a 100 km column of air pushing down on us.
• Standard atmospheric pressure is• 1 atm (atmosphere) or• 101.3 kPa (kilopascals), or• 760 Torr (mmHg)• 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch)
• Pressure varies with:• Altitude• Weather conditions.
Measuring Pressure
• Barometer: measures atmospheric pressure.– Two types:
• Mercury Barometer• Aneroid Barometer
• Manometer: measures pressure in a container (AKA. Pressure guage)
• Dial Type: Similar to an aneroid barometer• U-Tube: Similar to a mercury barometer
• A tube at least 800 mm long is filled with mercury (the densest liquid) and inverted over a dish that contains mercury.
• The mercury column will fall until the air pressure can support the mercury.
• On a sunny day at sea level, the air pressure will support a column of mercury 760 mm high.
• The column will rise and fall slightly as the weather changes.
• Mercury barometers are very accurate, but have lost popularity due to the toxicity of mercury.
the Mercury Barometer
The Aneroid Barometer
• In an aneroid barometer, a chamber containing a partial vacuum will expand and contract in response to changes in air pressure
• A system of levers and springs converts this into the movement of a dial.
Manometers (Pressure Gauges)
• Manometers work much like barometers, but instead of measuring atmospheric pressure, they measure the pressure difference between the inside and outside of a container.

Since we are using analogues for pressure & volume, the units don’t matter.
Conclusion and Discussion
• According to Boyle’s law, the PV values should all be identical. In the real world they will not be identical, but they should be very close.
• Analyze your results. While doing this you should find the percentage similarity between your largest and smallest result (smallest over largest x 100%). This can help you conclude if your results have supported Boyle’s Law or not.
• Discuss sources of error, and explain if they were significant in your results.
• Discuss the meaning of Boyle’s law as it relates to this activity.

If you know all the important properties of a If you know all the important properties of a gas (its volume, pressure, temperature in gas (its volume, pressure, temperature in kelvin, and the number of moles) substitute kelvin, and the number of moles) substitute them into the ideal gas law, but don’t put in the them into the ideal gas law, but don’t put in the value of R. Instead, calculate to see if the value of R. Instead, calculate to see if the value of R is close to 8.31, if so, the gas is value of R is close to 8.31, if so, the gas is ideal, or very nearly so. If the calculated value ideal, or very nearly so. If the calculated value of R is quite different from 8.31 then the gas is of R is quite different from 8.31 then the gas is far from ideal.far from ideal.

Gas Laws Overview
• When using gas laws, remember that temperatures are given in Kelvins (K)– Based on absolute zero: –273°C
• The three original gas laws can be combined, and also merged with Avogadro’s mole concept to give us the Combined Gas Law.
• Rearranging the Combined Gas Law and doing a bit of algebra produces the Ideal Gas Law.
• Substituting in the STP conditions we can find the Ideal Gas Constant.
• “Ideal gases” are gases that obey the gas laws at all temperatures and pressures. In reality, no gas is perfectly ideal, but most are very close.

Exercise Answers
14) The pressure will double, since there is twice as much gas occupying the same space. (I answered this using logic and Avagadro’s hypothesis rather than math. It stands to reason that twice as much gas in the same space will increase the pressure.)
15) The pressure will be four times as high, since the volume is one quarter what it was before: P1V1 = P2V2 so… P1V1 = 4P1 x ¼V1 (again, although you can do it with math, logic works better)
16) The pressure will be one third as great as it was before, since there is three times the volume: P1V1 = P2V2, so = 1/3 P1 x 3V1
17) The gas cannot expand, so it exerts force on its container. As the temperature increases, the gas particles move faster, hitting the container sides more frequently and with more force. This causes greater pressure. You can also explain this using Gay-Lussac’s law; P1/T1 = P2/T2
18) Make sure you use the KELVIN temperatures. The formula is P1/T1 = P2/T2 or 300 kpa/300K = xkPa/100K, so the pressure will be 100 kPa
19) An ideal gas obeys the gas laws at all temperatures and pressures (no real gas is perfectly ideal. More ideal properties will be discussed in the next section).
20) PCO2 = 3.33 kPa, since all the partial pressures will add up to the total pressure (3.33+23.3+6.67=33.3)
21) Use Boyle’s law: P1V1=P2V2, therefore 91.2kpa4.0L=20.3kpaxL so therefore x=91.2x4÷20.3 the new volume is 17.9 L
22) Use Boyle’s law: P1V1=P2V2 ,so x=100kPa6L÷25.3kPa. The new volume will be 23.7L
• 23) Use Charles’Law: V1/T1=V2/T2, convert the temperature from °CK, so -50°C223K and 100 °C373K so… 5L/223K = x/373K so… x=5373÷223. The new volume will be about 8.36 L
• 24) Use Gay-Lussack’s law: P1/T1=P2/T2, don’t forget to change 27°C300K. So… 200kPa/300K=223kPa/x. The new temperature will be 61.5°C (converted from 334.5K)

Summary of Kinetic Theory• Hypotheses (re. Behaviour of gas molecules):
1. Gases are made of molecules moving randomly 2. Gas molecules are tiny with lots of space between.3. They have elastic collisions (no lost energy).4. Molecules don’t attract or repel each other (much)
• Results:• The kinetic energy of molecules is related to their
temperature (hot molecules have more kinetic energy because they move faster)
– Kinetic theory is based on averages of many molecules (graphed on the Maxwell distribution “bell” curve)
– Pressure is caused by the collision of molecules with the sides of their containers.
– Hotter gases and compressed gases have more collisions, therefore greater pressure.
