Air Pressure
Pressure Units
• Units of pressure: atmosphere (atm)
Pa (N/m2, 101,325 Pa = 1 atm)
Torr (760 Torr = 1 atm)
bar (1.01325 bar = 1 atm)
mm Hg (760 mm Hg = 1 atm)
lb/in2 (14.696 lb/in2 = 1 atm)
in Hg (29.921 in Hg = 1 atm)
Universal Gas Behavior
• Unlike solids and liquids, gas behavior is
generally independent of chemical identity.
• Depends on four things only:
– Absolute temperature
– Pressure
– Volume
– Amount (moles)
Kinetic Molecular Theory
• This theory presents physical properties of gases in terms of the
motion of individual molecules.
• Kinetic Theory (in this class) will be based upon six assumptions:
• Average Kinetic Energy  Kelvin Temperature
• Gas molecules are points separated by a great distance
• Particle volume is negligible compared to gas volume
• Gas molecules are in rapid random motion
• Gas collisions are perfectly elastic
• Gas molecules experience no attraction or repulsion
Gas Behavior:
Gases in a Box
• Insert 1 mole of gas into a fixed volume container.
Then:
1. Gas expands to fill the container. Why?
2. The pressure becomes whatever value the gas laws
dictate for that volume, mole, and temperature
combination.
Gas Behavior:
Gases in a Piston
• Insert 1 mole of gas into a piston. Then:
1. Gas fills the piston. Why?
2. The piston changes volume until the pressure
inside is equal to the pressure outside. Why?
Understanding the Gas Laws
• Two keys to understanding the gas laws:
– Understand which parameters are changing
– Understand which are NOT changing
Boyle’s Law
• Pressure–Volume Law (Boyle’s Law):
Boyle’s Law
• Pressure–Volume Law (Boyle’s Law):

• The volume of a fixed amount of gas maintained at constant temperature is
inversely proportional to the gas pressure.

proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.

• At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is directly
proportional to the number of moles of the gas present.

Collecting the Gas Laws
• Mathematically one can combine all of the
statements we’ve made about gases.
• Two equivalent equations come from this:
– Combined gas law
– Ideal gas law
Combined Gas Law
• Combining the law gives:
P1 V1
 X
n1  T1
• But if it equals a constant, then after any change it will still
be equal to the constant:
P1 V1
P2 V2 P3 V3 P4 V4
 X


n1  T1
n2  T2 n3  T3 n4  T4
• We write it this way:
P1  V1
P2  V2

n1  T1
n2  T2
• Nothing needs to be held constant now
• Remember that anything that does stay constant can be
cancelled.
Ideal Gas Law
• This constant “X” is just a number.
• Units of (pressure * volume) / (moles * temp)
• That is, L·atm·K–1·mol–1
• Numerically, this constant has a value of
R = 0.08206 L·atm·K–1·mol–1
Ideal Gas Law
• The equation then becomes
P V
 R
n T
We usually write it this way instead:
PV = nRT
STP
• Standard temperature: 273.15 K
• Standard pressure: 1 atm
Ideal gas law vs. combined gas law
• Ideal gas law
– Under unchanging conditions
• Combined gas law
– Under changing conditions

What information would you need to
calculate the molar mass of a gas?
• Mass / moles (m / n)
• Enough information to get mass

Gas-phase stoichiometry
• We have a new route to moles PV=nRT
• But we need to know first how two different
gases behave when in the same space
Gas Mixtures
• Two gases in the same container have the
same volume—whatever the volume of the
container is.
• Two gases in the same container have the
same temperature—whatever the
temperature is inside the container.
Gas Mixtures
• Two gases in the same container do NOT have
the same pressure.
• They have whatever pressure they would have
if they were in the container alone.
• That is, solve PV=nRT for each gas in the
mixture separately.
Gas Mixtures
• The total pressure inside the container is
the sum of the pressures of the
individual gases.

components A and B can be represented by the
mole fractions (XA and XB).

Gas Stoichiometry
• In gas stoichiometry, for a constant temperature and pressure,
volume is proportional to moles.
• Assuming no change in temperature and pressure, calculate
the volume of O2 (in liters) required for the complete
combustion of 14.9 L of butane (C4H10):

Same Behavior vs. Different Behavior
• Most gas behaviors are based upon
comparisons of their relative energies
(temperatures)
– Same temperature = same behavior
• Some gas behaviors are based upon
comparisons of their relative speeds
– Same speed = same behavior
Graham’s Law
• Diffusion is the
mixing of different
gases by random
molecular motion
and collision.
Graham’s Law
• Effusion is when gas
molecules escape
without collision,
through a tiny hole
into a vacuum.
Graham’s Law
• Graham’s Law: Rate of effusion is proportional
to its rms speed, vrms.

Compressibility factor
• Z = PV/RT
This plot assumes
room temperature.
Real Gases
• All the assumptions of kinetic molecular
theory break down when explored in
sufficient detail.
• Two assumptions break down first:
– The volume of gas molecules is negligible
– There are no attractive or repulsive forces
between molecules
Non-negligible volumes
• The volume of molecules affects pressurevolume behavior more than temperaturepressure behavior.
• For a given small volume, the pressure will be
higher than the ideal gas suggests..

• Test of
ideal gas
behavior.
Volume non-idealities

Non-negligible interactions
• The long-range interactions of particles are
attractions, not repulsions.
• Thus a real gas sample takes up less space than the
ideal gas law suggests, when the molecules are not
crowded together.
• This effect fades as molecules move faster.

Unifying the Gas Laws
• Under normal temperatures you can liquefy a
gas simply by raising the pressure
• Above a certain critical temperature (Tc) you
cannot liquefy a gas under any pressure. The
pressure and volume of that “last” liquid are

“Critical” adjustments
• Now we stop using temperature (and pressure
and volume) in the gas laws.
• Instead we write the reduced temperature (TR)
as a fraction of the critical temperature (Tc).
• That is TR = T / Tc
