Five Characteristics of Gases
Gases expand to fill their containers
• Gases are fluid – they flow
• Gases have low density
•
• 1/1000 the density of the equivalent liquid or solid
Gases are compressible
• Gases effuse and diffuse
•
Ideal Gases
•
Ideal gases are imaginary gases that perfectly fit all of
the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT)
• Gases consist of tiny particles that are far apart relative to
their size.
• Gas particles are in constant, rapid motion.
• They therefore possess kinetic energy, the energy of motion
• There are no forces of attraction between gas particles
• The average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on
temperature, not on the identity of the particle.
PRESSURE
Pressure is the force created by the collisions of molecules with
the walls of a container
Unit

Common Units for Pressure
•
1 standard atmosphere (atm)
= 101.3 kPa (kilopascals)
= 14.7 lbs/in2
= 760 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury)
= 760 torr
Standard Temperature and Pressure
(STP)
• Often the volume of a gas is needed at
“standard conditions”
• For scientists, this means “STP”
• Standard temperature is 273 K
• Standard pressure is 1atm
101.3 kPa = 1 atmosphere (atm) = 760 mm Hg =
29.92 inches Hg = 14.7 lbs/in2 (psi)
