Section 12.1 Gases
Gases expand, diffuse, exert pressure,
and can be compressed because they
are in a low density state consisting of
tiny, constantly-moving particles.
• Use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain the
behavior of gases.
• Describe how mass affects the rates of diffusion and
effusion.
• Explain how gas pressure is measured and calculate
the partial pressure of a gas.
Section 12.1 Gases
Key Concepts
• The kinetic-molecular theory explains the properties of
gases in terms of the size, motion, and energy of their
particles.
• Dalton’s law of partial pressures is used to determine
the pressures of individual gases in gas mixtures.
• Graham’s law is used to compare the diffusion rates
of two gases.
Kinetic-Molecular Theory
Liquids and solids have wide range of
physical properties at room
temperature
Gases at room temperature usually
display similar physical properties
despite having different compositions
Why?
Kinetic-Molecular Theory
KMT describes gas behavior by making
assumptions about the size, motion,
and energy of gas particles
Kinetic  “to move”
Objects in motion have kinetic energy
KE = ½ m v2 = kinetic energy of particle
• m = mass, v = velocity
KMT - General
Explains ideal gas behavior
Assumptions simplify the theory
• don’t work in real gases
General picture for gas particles
Small - can ignore their volume
In constant motion
• their collisions cause pressure
KMT Assumptions (1)
Small particles, far apart
• Gas mostly empty space
• Reason for compressibility of gases
No interactions between particles
• No attractive or repulsive forces
between molecules, except for direct
collision
KMT Assumptions (2)
Constant straight-line motion until
collision with wall or other molecule
Collisions are elastic
• No kinetic energy lost during collision
• KE1(b) + KE2(b) = KE1(a) + KE2(a)
1,2 = particles 1 & 2
(b) = before collision (a) = after collision
• KE1(b) = KE1(a) for collision with wall
KMT Assumptions (3)
Temperature (T) is a measure of the
average kinetic energy of gas particles
At a given temperature, all gases have
the same average KE
KE(avg) = ½ m v2 = f(T) only
Raise T, KE(avg) & speed increase
Lower T, KE(avg) & speed decrease
KMT – Gas velocities
KE(avg) = ½ m v2 = f(T) only
At 25 C, H2 & N2 have same KE(avg)
m(N2) / m(H2) = 28 / 2 = 14
[v2(H2)]avg / [v2(N2)]avg = 14
[v(H2)]avg = 14 [v(N2)]avg = 3.74 [v(N2)]avg
Lighter gases move faster than heavier
ones (at same temperature)

At 25C, vavg for H2 = 1776 m/s
= 3974 mi/hr
At 25C, vavg for Xe = 219 m/s
= 491 mi/hr
For comparison, the speed of sound in
dry air at 25C vsound = 346 m/s
= 776 mi/hr
KMT & Gas Behavior
Low density
Chlorine gas 2.95  10-3 g/mL @ 20C
Cl2 molecular mass = 70.9 amu
Liquid water 1.0 g/mL @ 20C
H2O molecular mass = 18.0

molecules relative to a liquid

KMT & Diffusion/Effusion
Diffusion – the movement of one
material through another
• One gas moves through another gas –
no interactions
Movement of odor molecules (perfume)
Move from high to low areas of
concentration
Lighter gases diffuse faster
KMT & Diffusion/Effusion
Effusion – escape of gas through small
opening
Thomas Graham – various gases
effusing into vacuum
Graham’s Law of Effusion
Rate  1/  molar mass
Also can apply to diffusion rates
rate A / rate B = mass B/  mass A

Graham’s Law: Sample Problem 12.1
Ratio of diffusion rate of ammonia
(MM=17.0 g/mol) to HCl (MM=36.5 g/mol)?
rate A / rate B = (mass B / mass A)
rate NH3 / rate HCl =
(36.5 g/mol / 17.0 g/mol)
rate NH3 / rate HCl = 1.47

pressure of 0.97 atm. PP of O2 if PP(CO2)
= 0.70 atm and PP(N2) = 0.12 atm?

Section 12.2 Forces of Attraction
Intermolecular forces—including
dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces,
and hydrogen bonds—determine a
substance’s state at a given
temperature.
• Describe intramolecular forces.
• Compare and contrast intermolecular forces.
• Identify the intermolecular forces that will act on a
specific molecule.
• Relate the strength of intermolecular forces to
properties such as melting and boiling points.
Section 12.2 Forces of Attraction
Key Concepts
• Intramolecular (bonding) forces are stronger than
intermolecular forces.
• London dispersion (aka induced dipole – induced
dipole) forces are intermolecular forces between
temporary dipoles.
• London dispersion forces increase with molecular size
and with the amount of surface contact with
surrounding molecules.
• Dipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules.
• For hydrogen bonding to occur, a hydrogen atom must
be bonded directly to F, N, or O.
• Hydrogen bonding is the strongest of the
intermolecular forces.

Section 12.3 Liquids and Solids
The particles in solids and liquids have
a limited range of motion and are not
easily compressed.
• Contrast the arrangement of particles in liquids and
solids.
• Describe the factors that affect surface tension,
viscosity, capillary action, beading, and the formation
of a meniscus.
• Distinguish between adhesion and cohesion.
• Explain how the unit cell and crystal lattice are
related.
Section 12.3 Liquids and Solids
• Explain why ice floats in water but almost all other
solids sink in their liquids
• Describe the factors that are different in the 7 different
crystal categories.
• Draw the simple, body centered, and face centered
cubic unit cells.
• Identify the 5 types of crystalline solids, give an
example of each type and be able to rank the order of
properties such as melting point among the various
types.
• Distinguish among crystalline, amorphous, and
quasi-crystalline solids.
Section 12.3 Liquids and Solids
Key Concepts
• The kinetic-molecular theory explains the behavior of
solids and liquids.
• Intermolecular forces in liquids affect viscosity, surface
tension, cohesion, and adhesion.
• Crystalline solids can be classified by their shape and
composition.
Three States of Matter
Liquids – Density/Compressibility
At 25°C and 1 atm pressure, liquids
much denser than gases
• Liquid water 1250 x denser than vapor
• Both have ~ same kinetic energy
Liquids not very compressible
• High P needed to reduce V by a few %
Liquids – Fluidity
Diffusion of liquid molecules through a
liquid much slower than gas through
gas
Liquids in this sense are “less fluid”
than gases
Liquids – Viscosity
Measure of resistance of liquid to flow
High viscosity  high flow resistance
• Corn syrup higher viscosity than water
High viscosity  high intermolecular
forces
• Strong hydrogen bonding

Glycerol – 3 OH groups per molecule
• Long chains as opposed to compact

Oils – typically long carbon chains C18
Glycerol – Multiple Hydrogen Bonding
Viscosity and Temperature
Viscosity decreases with increasing
temperature
• Added kinetic energy makes it easier for
molecules to overcome intermolecular
forces
Viscosity and Temperature
Issue for motor oils
• Winter need low viscosity for flow
• Summer need higher viscosity to
provide adequate lubrication properties
Multi-grade oils have chemical
additives for automatic viscosity control
• Low T – compact, no strong effect
• High T – uncoil, tangle with oil, increase
viscosity
Liquids
Additional properties due to internal
attraction of molecules
• Surface tension
• Capillary action
• Beading
Stronger intermolecular forces cause
each of these to increase
Surface Tension

connecting like things
• Main cohesive force acting in liquid
water is hydrogen bond
Adhesive forces refer to forces between
the molecule and something else, most
often a solid surface

Beading
Liquid spreads;
adhesive forces
are comparable
in strength to
cohesive forces
Liquid “beads up.”
Which forces are
stronger, adhesive
or cohesive?
Beading
If polar substance
placed on non-polar
surface:
• There are cohesive,
• But no adhesive
forces
Beading - Mercury
Solids
KMT predicts that at same temperature,
solid particles have same amount of KE
as liquid
• Strong forces between particles
• Must be in motion – vibrations
Higher degree of order in solid than in
liquid
Solids are not “fluid”
(Exception – fluidized beds)
Solids - Density
Most solids more dense than their liquid
phase
• Typically 10% higher
• Water an exception – solid structure

amorphous solids, a third arrangement exists –
quasicrystalline solids
Atoms are arranged in regular patterns like in a
normal crystal but the pattern never repeats itself
Quasiperiodic crystal (quasicrystal) - structure
that is ordered but not periodic
Quasicrystalline pattern can continuously fill all
available space, but it lacks translational
symmetry (shifted copy will never match exactly
with its original)

Quasicrystal
Quasicrystals exist universally in many metallic
alloys and some polymers.
Quasicrystals are found most often in aluminium
alloys but numerous other compositions are also
known.

Phase Changes
Section 12.4 Phase Changes
Matter changes phase when energy is
added or removed.
• Explain how the addition and removal of energy can
cause a phase change.
• Name the six types of phase changes and specify if the
change is endo- or exothermic.
• Explain the terms superheated and supercooled as
applied to liquids
• Interpret vapor pressure and its dependence on
temperature in terms of kinetic molecular theory and
the strength of intermolecular forces.
Section 12.4 Phase Changes
• Interpret a phase diagram including the special points
(triple and critical).
• Explain how the critical temperature and pressure
relate to the ability to liquefy a substance.
Section 12.4 Phase Changes
Key Concepts
• States of a substance are referred to as phases when
they coexist as physically distinct parts of a mixture.
• Energy changes occur during phase changes.
• Phase diagrams show how different temperatures and
pressures affect the phase of a substance.
Phase Changes and Energy
Heat is transfer of energy from higher
temperature (T2) object to lower
temperature (T1) object
In phase changes, energy used to
overcome (disrupt) intermolecular
forces between molecules
For phase changes at equilibrium,
T2 = T1 (both phases at same T)
Phase Changes and Energy
Require energy (endothermic process)
• Vaporization
• Sublimation
• Melting
Release energy (exothermic process)
• Condensation
• Deposition
• Freezing
Melting
Amount of energy required to melt
substance depends on strength of
intermolecular forces
Melting point (MP) - temperature at
which solid and liquid phases coexist
For amorphous solids, exact melting
point more difficult to determine
Supercooled Liquids
Under certain conditions (generally,
pure liquids that lack nucleation sites),
liquids can be cooled below their
freezing points and still remain liquid
Called a supercooled liquid
Shock or introduction of suitable nuclei
can cause rapid freezing
Superheated Liquids
Under certain conditions (generally,
pure liquids that lack nucleation sites –
smooth surface cups), liquids can be
heated above their boiling points and
still remain liquid
Called a superheated liquid
Shock or introduction of suitable nuclei
can cause rapid boiling
Types of Crystalline Solids
(Table 12.5, p 422)
ions
Melting & Types of Solids (Tbl 12.5)
Ionic, covalent network, and many
metallic solids generally have high MPs
– forces involved are bonding forces
Atomic solids low MPs
Molecular solids low to moderate MPs
• H-bonding solids requires more energy
than most polar solids because of
stronger dipole-dipole forces
Vaporization
Process by which liquid changes to gas
(vapor)
Kinetic energy (or velocity) distribution
means that a fraction of molecules
have sufficient energy to overcome
intermolecular forces and escape the
liquid – see following slide
Energy Distribution of Molecules in a Liquid
Minimum KE

Kinetic Energy (KE)
Vaporization
Vaporization occurs at surface – fewer
forces acting upon a surface molecule
Called evaporation
Those molecules that do escape exert
a gas pressure (partial pressure) that is
equal to the vapor pressure

Vapor Pressure
Fraction of molecules having sufficient
energy to overcome intermolecular
forces at 2 different temperatures
Vapor Pressure
Effect of Temperature
Vapor Pressure – T Dependence
Boiling
Temperature at which vapor pressure =
atmospheric pressure (normal BP)
Can superheat if no nuclei present
Boiling (as with melting) requires
energy
Temperature of liquid same as
temperature of vapor produced during
boiling process
Sublimation
Solid changes directly to gas without
first becoming liquid
• Iodine
• Carbon dioxide
• Napthalene (moth balls)
• Solid air fresheners
• Ice at low pressures (freeze drying)
• Water in your freezer
Energy-Releasing Transformations
Condensation (opposite of evaporation)
Deposition (opposite of sublimation)
• High altitude snowflake formation
Freezing (opposite of melting)
Phase Diagrams
Pressure vs Temperature plots with
phases identified
Lines on phase diagram indicate where
phase changes can occur
Can find MP, BP, VP as f(T), etc
Triple point – all 3 phases
simultaneously present
• Multiple solid phases  multiple triple pts.

Phase Diagram - Critical Point
High pressures can liquify a gas
Critical Temperature – temperature
beyond which cannot liquify a vapor
regardless of the pressure applied
• Liquid and gas phases indistinguishable
Critical Pressure – the vapor pressure
at the critical temperature
Critical Point – the point defined by the
critical temperature and pressure

With 2 separate solid phases (monoclinic,
rhombic), have 3 triple points
The Critical Point
At higher temp At room temp more vapor & its
relatively little vapor
density increases …
at low density
… while density of liquid
decreases; molecular
motion increases
At Tc,
densities of
liquid &
vapor equal

Critical Temperatures and Pressures
These 4 gases can’t be liquefied at room temperature,
regardless of applied pressure. Why not?
