Gas Unit 3/5

The student will Learn:

1. calculation of gas problems using the Ideal Gas Law.

PV = nRT

Ideal Gas Law

Involves P,V,T & …number of moles of gas

PV = nRTAll units must be : P = atm

V = liters

T = Kelvin

n = #of moles

R = .0821 liters x atm

moles x K R is a constant …….. Like pi is a constant 3.14 ws.11.21

1. If 6 moles of CO2 gas is contained at a pressure of 7.6 atm and a volume of 20 liters, calculate the temperature of the gas. Answer in Celsius degree.

2. A 31 liter tank contains a gas at 12.2 atm with a temperature of 273k. What is the weight in grams of the dinitrogen oxide, laughing gas, inside the tank?

3. What is the volume of a balloon if it contains 19.2 moles of helium, an internal pressure 770mmHg and the outside temperature is 80oC?

4. If I have an unknown quantity of gas at a temperature 80oC, and a volume of 25 liters and the tank pressure registers at 2000mmHg. How many moles of the unknown Gas?

5. A one liter aerosol can of WD-40 at room temperature (25oC) is thrown into an incinerator. Calculate the temperature of the gas in the can with an internal pressure of 3atms and 0.05 moles of WD-40 were in the can? Assume the can did not explode.

How do I know when to use the

Combine Gas Law or the Ideal Gas law?

The student will Learn:

1. calculation of gas problems using the Ideal Gas Law.

PV = nRT

Gas Unit 4/5

The student will learn:

1. concept of Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure.

2. calculations of Dalton’s law of Partial Pressure.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure

Total pressure of a mixture of gases =

sum of partial pressure of the component gases. Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 …

1. If 5 gases in a cylinder each exert 1atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the gases?

2. Three samples of gas each exert 740mm Hg in separate

2-L tanks. What pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a single 2-L tank.

3. A mixture of four gases exerts a total pressure of 860 mmHg. Gases A and B each exert 220 mmHg. Gas C exerts 110mmHg. What pressure is exerted by gas D?

2. calculations of Dalton’s law of Partial Pressure.

Gas Unit 5/5

The student will learn:

1. concept of rate of diffusion

2. minor calculations in rate of diffusion.

Diffusion

KMT: 4- No significant forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles

So…..gas particles can flow easily past one another

3- Gas particles are in constant, rapid, random

motion. They have KE.

So….. motion of gas particles causes the gas particles to evenly mix.

Diffusion =movement of one material through another material. “Cooking cookies in the kitchen…others can smell it upstairs in the bedroom.”

Rate of Diffusion depends on mass

---Skinny people can run faster than fat people---

---So can molecules---

Lighter molecule diffuse faster than heavy molecules @ STP

Of the following molecules which would diffuse faster?

l. Oxygen or Neon

2 Sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide

3. Chlorine gas or krypton gas

List the following gases in order of increasing rate of diffusion.

(a) He (b) Xe (c) HCl (d)Cl2

The two gases in the figure below are simultaneously injected into opposite ends of the tube. They should just begin to mix at which labeled point?

H2S SO2

A B C

How does the diffusion rate of hydrogen molecules compare with that of oxygen molecules when both

gases are at 250C

1. They have equal rates

2. Hydrogen is 1/16 as fast as oxygen

3. Hydrogen is 16 times faster than oxygen

4. Hydrogen is 4 times as fast

5. More information is needed
