Chapters 13 and 14 Prin.of Chem
Properties of Gases - KMT
1. Mostly empty space 2. Particles are always moving (fast) 3. Volume depends on temp and pressure 4. Shape depends on the container (earth??) 5. Kinetic energy of particles determines speed. (temp)
Gas Pressure
Pressure
: the force acting on a unit area of a surface (example: force per square centimeter)
Atmospheric pressure
: 14.7psi (pounds per square inch) at sea level; 1 atm
Kinetic Theory
: all matter is composed of particles in constant motion.
Gas pressure
is caused by the gas particles hitting the sides of the container.
Pressure
Defined: Force per unit area Occurs when particles collide with walls of container.
-more collisions = more pressure
Kinetic Energy, Speed, and Temp.
KE is energy of motion Temperature is a measure of average KE Both are linked to the speed of the particles TEMP.
KINETIC ENERGY (SPEED)
Atmospheric pressure
Air pressure or barometric pressure (comes from the weight of the air)
Barometric pressure
Higher at sea level than on top of mountains.
Why????
Ideal gases
A gas that is described by the kinetic molecular theory (model)
Kinetic Model - Gases
Group of statements that describe physical characteristics of gases.
1. made of very tiny atoms 2. move constantly, straight lines, random 3. very far apart (particle volume is almost zero) 4. collisions cause pressure and conserve energy.
Pressure
Measured with a barometer or pressure gauge.
Units are: mmHg (common) or psi (USA only) Pascal (official SI unit) but is really tiny or kilopascal (more likely) or Atmosphere (my favorite)
1 atm Pressure
Barometer
At one atmosphere
pressure a column
of mercury 760 mm high.

Pressure Conversions
Standard (Equivalent) Pressure
: at sea level 1.0 atm = 760 mmHg = 14.7 psi = 101.3 kPa Problem: Tire pressure gauge reads 35psi. What is the equivalent in kilopascals?
(35psi) x 101.3 kPa = 240 kPa 14.7 psi
Make conversions
Change 2.0 atm to kPa 2.0 atm x 101.3 kPa = 202.6 kPa 1.0 atm
Temperature
Fahrenheit
– common, not scientific
Celcius
– used everywhere, except USA, based on water MP = 0 °C BP = 100°C Absolute zero = -273 °C
Kelvin
– (Absolute temperature) used for all gas law calculations • absolute zero 0 °K = no motion of atoms • No negative temp
.
•
K = C + 273
Kelvin Temperature Scale
Absolute Zero
= zero kinetic energy; particles are not moving at all. Absolute zero has never been reached.
Kelvin Scale
: directly proportional to kinetic energy of particles.
Celsius 100 o C 0 o C -273 o C Kelvin 373 273 0
STP
Standard Temperature and Pressure – Used to compare measured gases in diff. experiments.
1 atm pressure and 273 K At STP 1.0 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L
The Gas Laws
Statements which predict gas behaviors Math relationships Mostly common sense.
Laws cont.
Daltons law of partial pressure.
– In a mixture of gases, the total pressure equals the sum of all the individual gases.
Boyles law
• Pressure and volume are inversely proportional (when the temp. stays the same) • P 1 x V 1 = P 2 x V 2 • If the pressure doubles the volume is cut in half.
Boyle’s Law Cont.
Graph
resembles a curve.
Kinetic theory explanation
: compressing the air (making the volume smaller) creates less space for the particles to travel = more hits = greater pressure. Expand the volume & the particles must travel farther to hit the sides of the container = less hits = lower pressure.
Charles Law
• Volume and Temperature are directly proportional (pressure is constant) • • V 1 T 1 = V 2 T 2 • If the temperature doubles, the volume doubles
Charles’s Law cont.
Graph
is a straight line
Kinetic Theory Explanation
greater volume. : When the gas particles are heated, they speed up (increase kinetic energy) = more hits on the sides of the expandable container (balloon) = When the gas particle are cooled, they slow down= fewer hits = less volume
Gay Lussac Law
• Pressure and Temperature are directly proportional (volume is constant) • • P 1 T 1 = P 2 T 2 • If the Temperature doubles, the pressure doubles
Temperature & Gas Pressure
High temperature makes particles speed up = more hits on the sides of the container = greater pressure.
Cold temperature makes particles slow down = fewer hits = lower pressure
Combined Gas Law
• Boyles, Charles, and Gay Lussac Laws all together…..
• P 1 V 1 T 1 = P 2 V 2 T 2 • Keep track of the units - temp. must be in Kelvins, P and V must be same on both sides.
The Ideal Gas Law
• • • Relationship between pressure, temp. volume and number of moles (particles).
Can be used to find info about any gas.
PV = nRT • • • P is pressure(atm or kPa) V is volume (L) n is number of moles(mol) T is temperature (K) and R is the ideal gas constant
