Gases
Characteristics of Gases

Like liquids and solids, they:




Still have mass and momentum
Have heat capacities & thermal conductivities
Can be chemically reactive
Unlike liquids and solids, they:



Expand to fill their containers
Are highly compressible
Have extremely low densities

Pressure

Pressure is the
amount of force
applied to an area.
F
P= A

Atmospheric
pressure is the
weight of air per unit
of area.

1 bar = 105 Pa = 100 kPa
mm Hg or torr


1 Pa = 1 N/m2 = 1 Kg/ms2

Standard Pressure



Normal atmospheric pressure at sea
level.
This is ambient pressure, equal all
around us, so not particularly felt
It is equal to:

760 torr (760 mm Hg)
101.325 kPa

Patm= 102 kPa
Pgas> Patm
Pgas= Patm + h
Pgas= 102 kPa + (134.6mm – 103.8mm)Hg
Pgas= 102 kPa + (32.6mm Hg)
Note 1mmHg = 133.322 Pa
Pgas= 102 kPa + (32.6x133.322x10-3 kPa)
Pgas= 106 kPa = 1.06 bar =1.06/1.013 atm
Pgas= 1.046 atm

Boyle’s Law

The volume of a fixed quantity of gas at
constant temperature is inversely
proportional to the pressure: V ~ 1/P
Figure 9.4
Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Langford, Sagatys: Chemistry 2e © 2010 Pearson Australia
As P and V are inversely
proportional
A plot of V versus P results in a curve.
Since PV = k
V = k (1/P)
This means a plot of V
versus 1/P will be a
straight line.

Charles’s Law

The volume of a fixed
amount of gas at constant
pressure is directly
proportional to its absolute
temperature.
V =k
T
V = kT

Avogadro’s Law


The volume of a gas at constant temperature
and pressure is directly proportional to the
number of moles of the gas.
Mathematically, this means:
V = kn

Ideal-Gas Equation

So far we’ve seen that:
V  1/P (Boyle’s law)
V  T (Charles’s law)
V  n (Avogadro’s law)

Combining these, we get, if we call the
proportionality constant, R:
nT
V=R P
i.e. PV = nRT (where R = 8.314 kPa L/mol K)

Heat Gas in Cylinder from 298 K to 360 K at
fixed piston position. (T incr. so P increases)
Same volume, same moles but greater P
P1 = (nR/V1)T1 or P1/T1 = P2 / T2
P 2 = P 1 T 2 / T1
P2 = P1(T2 /T1 ) = P1(360/298) = 1.2081P1

Move the piston to reduce the Volume from
1 dm3 to 0.5 dm3. (V decreases so P
increases)
Same moles, same T, but greater P
P1V1 = (nRT1) = P2V2
P2 = P1V1 / V2 = P1 (V1 / V2)
P2 = P1(1.0/0.5) = P1(2.0)

Inject more gas at fixed piston position & T.
the n increases so P increases)
Same volume, more moles but greater P
P1 = n1(RT1/V1) or P1/n1 = P2 / n2
P2 = P1 n2 / n1 for n2 = 2 n1
P2 = P1(2)

R = (PV / nT)
When kPa and dm3 are used as is common
R = 8.314 kPa dm3 / mol K or J/mol K
It is useful to write the ideal gas law this way
so that R is the constant and other variables
can change from initial to final conditions
This again reduces the gas law to a simple
arithmetic ratio calculation
The only tricks are to ensure all units are
consistent or converted as needed.

V = (nRT/P) = 1mol (8.314kPa dm3 /molK)(273.15K)/100 kPa
V/mol = 22.71 dm3 = 22.71L

Gas Densities and Molar
Mass
If we divide both sides of the ideal-gas
equation by V and by RT, we get:
n
P
=
V
RT
Most of our gas law calculations involve
proportionalities of these basic
commodities.

Gas Densities and Molar
Mass

We know that

moles  molar mass = mass
n=m

So multiplying both sides by the molar
mass ( ) gives:
m P
=
V RT
P
i.e.  = RT

Molecular Mass
We can manipulate the density equation
to enable us to find the molar mass of a
gas:
P
 = RT
Becomes
RT
= P
