Gas: Refers to a substance that is entirely gaseous at ordinary temperatures and pressures.

The 4 important measurable properties of gases are:

1. pressure

1. pressure 2. volume

1. pressure 2. volume 3. temperature

1. pressure 2. volume 3. temperature 4. mass (or moles)

Pressure: Gases exert pressure on any surface with which they come into contact. That is, all gases expand uniformly to occupy whatever space is available.

Pressure is define by the equation:

force pressure = area

Pressure: Gases exert pressure on any surface with which they come into contact. That is, all gases expand uniformly to occupy whatever space is available.

Pressure is define by the equation:

force pressure = area or F P = A

Units of pressure

distance velocity = time

Units of pressure

distance velocity = time velocity acceleration = time

Units of pressure

distance velocity = time velocity acceleration = time

i.e. distance acceleration = time2

To find the SI units of force:

To find the SI units of force: force = mass x acceleration

distance force = mass x time2

Now plug in the SI units for each quantity on the right-hand side of the equation. The SI unit of force is the newton (named after Newton) and abbreviated N.

1 N = 1 kg m s-2

The SI units of pressure are: Nm-2

The SI unit of pressure is called the pascal (named after Pascal) and is abbreviated Pa.

1 Pa = 1 Nm-2 = 1 kg m-1 s-2

The most common unit of pressure is the non-SI unit, the atmosphere, abbreviated atm.

1 atm = 76 cm Hg

1 atm = 76 cm Hg = 760 mm Hg

1 atm = 76 cm Hg = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr (named after Torricelli)

1 atm = 76 cm Hg = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr (named after Torricelli) = 101325 Pa (by definition)

1 bar = 10 5 Pa

1 atm = 76 cm Hg = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr (named after Torricelli) = 101325 Pa (by definition)

1 bar = 10 5 Pa

Hence 1atm = 1.01325 bar

Atmospheric pressure is measured by a barometer.

The difference between a gas and a vapor:

state at ordinary temperatures and pressures. A vapor is the gaseous form of any substance

that is a liquid or a solid at normal temperatures and pressures.

Thus, at room temperature and 1 atm, we speak of water vapor and helium gas.

Temperature: For the gas equations, the temperature is measured on the Kelvin scale – the units are K (kelvin).

The absolute lowest temperature is zero degrees kelvin.

Temperature: For the gas equations, the temperature is measured on the Kelvin scale – the units are K (kelvin).

The absolute lowest temperature is zero degrees kelvin.

The temperature in K is determined from the temperature measured in oC by:

degrees K = degrees oC + 273.15

The Gas Laws

The first systematic and quantitative study of gas behavior was carried out by Boyle.

The Gas Laws

The first systematic and quantitative study of gas behavior was carried out by Boyle.

Boyle noticed that when the temperature and

the amount of gas are held constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the applied pressure acting on the gas.

(const. T and n)

This is a statement of Boyle’s Law. (V is the volume, P is the pressure, T is the

temperature, and n is the moles of gas).

(const. T and n)

temperature, and n is the moles of gas). C V = (const. T and n) P

(const. T and n)

(C is the proportionality constant).

(const. T and n)

(C is the proportionality constant). This is also a statement of Boyle’s Law.

We can write Boyle’s law as:

PV = C (const. T and n)

If the initial values of pressure and volume are Pi and Vi and if the conditions are changed to a final pressure Pf and final volume Vf then we can write:

initial conditions PiVi = C

final conditions PfVf = C

Hence: PiVi = PfVf (const. T and n)

This is also a statement of Boyle’s Law.

Hence: PiVi = PfVf (const. T and n)

This is also a statement of Boyle’s Law.

Problem Example: If 0.100 liters of a gas, originally at 760.0 torr, is compressed to a pressure of 800.0 torr, at a constant temperature, what is the final volume of the gas?

No mention is made about the moles of gas – so make the assumption that n remains constant. Since temperature is constant, we can use Boyle’s Law.

PiVi = PfVf

This can be rearranged to read: Pi Vf = Vi Pf

PiVi = PfVf

This can be rearranged to read: Pi Vf = Vi Pf 760.0 torr Vf = x 0.100 l 800.0 torr Vf = 0.0950 l

Charles and Gay-Lussac’s Law

Charles and Gay-Lussac’s Law Charles (1787) and Gay-Lussac (1802) were the

first investigators to study the effect of temperature on gas volume. Their studies showed that at constant pressure, and a fixed number of moles of gas, that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

Charles and Gay-Lussac’s Law Charles (1787) and Gay-Lussac (1802) were the

first investigators to study the effect of temperature on gas volume. Their studies showed that at constant pressure, and a fixed number of moles of gas, that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

(const. P and n) This is a statement of Charles’ Law.

The proportionality can be turned into an equality:

V = C’ T (const. P and n)

The proportionality can be turned into an equality:

V = C’ T (const. P and n) This is a statement of Charles’ Law. (The prime is used to signify that this constant

is different to the constant appearing in Boyle’s law).

If the initial values of temperature and volume are Ti and Vi and if the conditions are changed to a final temperature Tf and final volume Vf then we can write:

Vi initial conditions = C’ Ti

Vi initial conditions = C’ Ti Vf final conditions = C’ Tf

Hence: Vi Vf = (const. P, n) Ti Tf

This is a statement of Charles’ Law.

Problem Example: A gas occupying 4.50 x 102 ml is heated from 22.0 oC to 187 oC at constant pressure. What is the final volume of the gas?

There is no mention of the moles of gas changing, so assume that n is constant. Since pressure is constant, apply Charles’ law:

Vi Vf = Ti Tf

Note that it is necessary to convert the temperatures given to units of K.

Ti = 22.0 + 273.15 = 295.2 K

Tf = 187 + 273.15 = 4.60 x 102 K

Ti = 22.0 + 273.15 = 295.2 K

Tf = 187 + 273.15 = 4.60 x 102 K

Tf Vf = Vi Ti 4.60 x 102 K = 4.50 x 102 ml 2.952 x 102 K = 701 ml

Avogadro’s Law

Avogadro’s Law In 1811 Avogadro published a hypothesis

which stated that at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain the same number of molecules (or atoms if the gas is monatomic).

Avogadro’s Law In 1811 Avogadro published a hypothesis

which stated that at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain the same number of molecules (or atoms if the gas is monatomic).

It follows that the volume of any given gas must be proportional to the number of molecules present.

It is more convenient to work in terms of moles. A mole contains 6.02214 x 1023 items.

For example, one mole of argon contains 6.02214 x 1023 atoms of argon, a mole of dinitrogen contains 6.02214 x 1023 molecules of N2.

A mole of apples is really, really, ...really big!

The mole is a convenient “lab-sized” unit for amount of substance.

Avogadro’s law can be written as:

(const. P and T)

(const. P and T) The proportionality can be replaced by an

equality: V = C’’n (const. P and T)

equality: V = C’’n (const. P and T) This is a statement of Avogadro’s Law.

equality: V = C’’n (const. P and T) This is a statement of Avogadro’s Law. (The double prime is used to signify that this

constant is different to the constants appearing in Boyle’s law and Charles’ law).

If the initial values of volume and moles are Vi and ni and if the conditions are changed to a final volume Vf and final moles nf then we can write:

Vi initial conditions = C’’ ni

Vi initial conditions = C’’ ni Vf final conditions = C’’ nf

Hence: Vi Vf = (const. P, T) ni nf

This is a statement of Avogadro’s Law.

Avogadro’s law means that, when two gases react with each other, their volumes have a simple ratio to each other. If the product is a gas, its volume is related to the volume of the reactants by a simple ratio.

Example: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g)

Avogadro’s law means that, when two gases react with each other, their volumes have a simple ratio to each other. If the product is a gas, its volume is related to the volume of the reactants by a simple ratio.

Example: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g)

3 volumes 1 volume 2 volumes

Ideal gas: Is defined to be a gas that satisfies the ideal gas equation.

Evaluation of the gas constant: Experiments show that 1 mol of any ideal gas at 0 OC and 1 atm pressure occupies 22.414 liters. The conditions 0 OC and 1 atm are called standard temperature and pressure, abbreviated STP.

(1 atm) (22.414 l) R = ( 1 mol) (273.15 K) = 0.082057 l atm K-1 mol-1

In the SI unit system,

R = 8.3145 J K-1 mol-1

Here, J stands for joule, the SI unit of energy.

R = 8.3145 J K-1 mol-1

Here, J stands for joule, the SI unit of energy. 1 J = 1 Nm = 1 kg m2 s-2

R = 8.3145 J K-1 mol-1

Here, J stands for joule, the SI unit of energy. 1 J = 1 Nm = 1 kg m2 s-2

Exercise: Try to convert R = 0.082057 l atm K-1 mol-1 to the

value given in SI units. (It’s a factor-label exercise).

Problem Example, Ideal Gas Law: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.168 mol of CO2 at STP.

Assume CO2 can be treated as an ideal gas.

Given data: n = 0.168 mol, P = 1 atm (exact value) T = 0 oC = 273.15 K (exact value)

Given data: n = 0.168 mol, P = 1 atm (exact value) T = 0 oC = 273.15 K (exact value) n R T V = P

Given data: n = 0.168 mol, P = 1 atm (exact value) T = 0 oC = 273.15 K (exact value) n R T V = P (0.168 mol) (0.08206 l atm mol-1 K-1) (273 K)V = (1 atm) = 3.76 l

Combined Gas Law

Combined Gas Law If the initial values of the pressure, volume, temperature,

and moles are Pi, Vi, Ti, and ni, and if the conditions are changed to a final pressure, volume, temperature, and moles Pf, Vf, Tf, and nf respectively, then we can write:

Pi Vi initial conditions = R ni Ti

Pi Vi initial conditions = R ni Ti Pf Vf final conditions = R nf Tf

Hence: Pi Vi Pf Vf = ni Ti nf Tf

This is the Combined Gas Law.

Problem Example, Combined Gas Law: A scuba diver carries three tanks of air. Each has a capacity of 7.00 l and is at a pressure of 1.50 x 102 atm at 25.0 oC. What volume of air does this correspond to at STP?

Given initial data: Pi = 1.50 x 102 atm

Vi = 21. 0 l

Ti = 298.2 K (25.0 + 273.15)

Problem Example, Combined Gas Law: A scuba diver carries three tanks of air. Each has a capacity of 7.00 l and is at a pressure of 1.50 x 102 atm at 25.0 oC. What volume of air does this correspond to at STP?

Given initial data: Pi = 1.50 x 102 atm

Vi = 21. 0 l

Ti = 298.2 K (25.0 + 273.15)

Given final data: Pf = 1 atm

Tf = 273.15 K

Pi Vi Pf Vf = ni Ti nf Tf

Assume that the number of moles of gas is fixed, so the combined gas law simplifies to:

Pi Vi Pf Vf = Ti Tf

Pi Vi Pf Vf = ni Ti nf Tf

Assume that the number of moles of gas is fixed, so the combined gas law simplifies to:

Pi Vi Pf Vf = Ti Tf

The equation can be rearranged, so that

Pi Tf Vf = Vi Pf Ti

(1.50 x 102 atm) (273.15 K) Vf = (21.0 l) (1 atm) (298.2 K)

= 2.89 x 103 l at STP

Problem Example: Molar mass of a gas. Calculate the molar mass of methane if 279 ml of the gas measured at 31.3 OC and 492 torr has a mass 0f 0.116 g. Two steps: first find moles of gas, then determine the molar mass.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton’s Law of partial pressures: In a mixture of gases, each component exerts the same pressure as it would, if it were alone and occupied the same volume.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton’s Law of partial pressures: In a mixture of gases, each component exerts the same pressure as it would, if it were alone and occupied the same volume.

Consider a simple case: A mixture of two gases A and B in a container of volume V and temperature T.

The pressure exerted by gas A – called the partial pressure of gas A – is given by:

nART PA = V

The pressure exerted by gas A – called the partial pressure of gas A – is given by:

nART PA = V

Similarly for gas B,

nBRT PB = V

Now the total pressure PTotal is

nTotal RT PTotal = V

nTotal RT PTotal = V Now nTotal = nA + nB so that:

(nA + nB )RT nA RT nB RT PTotal = = + V V V

(nA + nB )RT nA RT nB RT PTotal = = + V V V Hence, PTotal = PA + PB

This is Dalton’s Law of partial pressures: The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures.

The preceding result can be generalized to any number of components:

PTotal = PA + PB + PC + PD + …

where PA, PB, PC, PD, etc. are the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Problem Example: Assume that 1.00 moles of air contain 0.78 moles of dinitrogen, 0.21 moles of dioxygen, and 0.01 moles of argon. Calculate the partial pressures of the three gases when the air pressure is at 1.0 atm.

Graham’s Law of Effusion

Diffusion: A process by which one gas gradually mixes with another. The term is also used for solutes mixing with a solvent.

Graham’s Law of Effusion

Diffusion: A process by which one gas gradually mixes with another. The term is also used for solutes mixing with a solvent.

Effusion: The process by which a gas under pressure escapes from one compartment of a container to another by passing through a small opening.

Graham’s law: The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density when the pressure and temperature are held constant.

Effusion rate: abbreviated R (don’t get this confused with the gas constant).

Gas density: abbreviated d.

Gas density: abbreviated d. 1 R (const. P, T)

Gas density: abbreviated d. 1 R (const. P, T) This is Graham’s law of effusion.

The proportionality can be turned into an equality: R = C (const. P and T) This is a statement of Graham’s law of effusion. (The constant is unrelated to any of the previous

constants in Boyle’s law, etc.).

For two gases A and B, the relative rates of effusion can be evaluated as follows:

For gas A: RA = C

For gas B: RB = C

For gas A: RA = C

For gas B: RB = C

Hence: RA = RB

For gas A: RA = C

For gas B: RB = C

Hence: RA = RB

RA = (const. P, T) RB

For gas A: RA = C

For gas B: RB = C

Hence: RA = RB

RA = (const. P, T) RB

This is a statement of Graham’s law of effusion Law.

Problem example, Graham ’s law: Under conditions for which the density of carbon dioxide is 1.96 g/l and that of dinitrogen is 1.25 g/l, which gas will effuse more rapidly? What is the ratio of the rates of effusion of dinitrogen to carbon dioxide?

Problem example, Graham ’s law: Under conditions for which the density of carbon dioxide is 1.96 g/l and that of dinitrogen is 1.25 g/l, which gas will effuse more rapidly? What is the ratio of the rates of effusion of dinitrogen to carbon dioxide? Let A be N2 and B be CO2.

An alternative form can be developed for Graham’s law of effusion, where the ratio of the rates is determined from the molar masses of the two gases.

m m d = M = V n

so nM d = V

m m d = M = V n

so nM d = V

and PV = n RT , so (n/V) = P/(RT)

m m d = M = V n

so nM d = V

and PV = n RT , so (n/V) = P/(RT)

PM d = RT

Now plug this result for d into the expression for

Kinetic Theory of Gases

The kinetic theory of gases provides a “working model” of a gas. It is an attempt to interpret experimental observations at the molecular level.

Basic Postulates of Kinetic Theory:

The kinetic theory of gases provides a “working model” of a gas. It is an attempt to interpret experimental observations at the molecular level.

Basic Postulates of Kinetic Theory: 1. A gas consists of an extremely large number

of tiny particles that are in constant random motion.

2. The particles are separated by distances far greater than their own dimensions. The molecules can be considered as point-like, that is, they posses mass but have negligible volume (compared with the volume of the container).

3. All molecular collisions are elastic, that is, the sum of the kinetic energy of the colliding molecules remains unchanged before and after the collision.

It is found: The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

KE = ½ m v2 T

The bar over KE means average, and over v2 means the average of v2.

KE = ½ m v2 T

v2 is called the mean square velocity.

KE = ½ m v2 T

v2 is called the mean square velocity.

If there are N molecules v12 + v2

2 + … + vN2

v2 = N

Molecules exert neither attractive nor repulsive forces on one another. This ties in directly with postulate 3.

Compressibility: Since gas molecules are separated by large distances (relative to the molecular size), they can be compressed easily to occupy smaller volumes.

Pressure – volume connection (p. 215):

Pressure – volume connection: Increase the external pressure on the piston at constant temperature, then more molecules strike the container walls, so the force per unit area increases, and hence the pressure of the gas increases.

Pressure – volume connection: Increase the external pressure on the piston at constant temperature, then more molecules strike the container walls, so the force per unit area increases, and hence the pressure of the gas increases. That is, a smaller volume implies a larger pressure. Detailed arguments lead to

P V-1.

Pressure – temperature connection: An increase in temperature increases the average velocity of the gas molecules.

At higher velocities, the gas molecules strike the container walls more frequently and with greater force.

If the volume of the container is kept constant, the area being struck is the same, so the force per unit area, that is the pressure, increases.

If the volume of the container is kept constant, the area being struck is the same, so the force per unit area, that is the pressure, increases. Expect P T (const. V, n).

Temperature – volume connection: Increase the temperature at constant pressure.

Temperature – volume connection: Increase the temperature at constant pressure. An increase in temperature increases the average velocity of the gas molecules.

Temperature – volume connection: Increase the temperature at constant pressure. An increase in temperature increases the average velocity of the gas molecules. At higher velocities, the gas molecules strike the container walls more frequently and with greater force.

Temperature – volume connection: Increase the temperature at constant pressure. An increase in temperature increases the average velocity of the gas molecules. At higher velocities, the gas molecules strike the container walls more frequently and with greater force. This would increase the pressure, but if this is held constant, it would be necessary for the volume of the container to increase to maintain this constant pressure.

Expect V T (const. P, n).

Graham’s law of effusion: Consider two gases (call them A and B) at the same temperature.

Graham’s law of effusion: Consider two gases (call them A and B) at the same temperature. Kinetic theory indicates that the average kinetic energy for both gases must be the same.

gas A gas B KEA = ½ mA vA

2 KEB = ½ mB vB2

Graham’s law of effusion: Consider two gases (call them A and B) at the same temperature. Kinetic theory indicates that the average kinetic energy for both gases must be the same.

gas A gas B KEA = ½ mA vA

2 KEB = ½ mB vB2

If gas B molecules have higher mass, then the only way the average KE can be the same is

that the average velocity of the B molecules is smaller than gas A.

that the average velocity of the B molecules is smaller than gas A. The molecules moving more quickly are more likely to hit the opening, and hence the gas with the molecules having the lower mass will effuse faster.

One important point to note is that although there are always some slow-moving molecules, there are fewer slow-moving molecules at higher temperatures.
