Kinetic Molecular Theory 1. Gases move randomly at high velocities 2. The attractive forces between gases are small 3. The volume of a gas is small compared to the container 4. gas particles are in constant, straight- line motion 5. Gas speed is proportional to temperature
Pressure (atm, mmHg, kPa) 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = kPa Volume (mL, L) Temperature ( o C, K) o C = K Moles
P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 Pressure and volume are indirectly proportional EX: Oxygen gas is delivered to a patient. The 12.0 L tank gauge reads 3800 mmHg. How many liters would the same gas occupy at 0.75 atm?
V 1 = V 2 T 1 T 2 Volume and temperature (K) are directly proportional EX: A sample of argon has a volume of 5.40 L at 15 o C. What is the final volume if the temperature is increased to 42 o C?
P 1 = P 2 T 1 T 2 Pressure and temperature (K) are directly proportional EX: A hairspray can has a pressure of 4.0 atm at 25 o C. If the can is thrown into a fire (402 o C) will it explode. The can will explode at pressures greater than 8.0 atm.
P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 T 1 T 2 EX: A 25.0 mL bubble has a pressure of 4.00 atm at 11 o C. What is its volume at 1.00 atm and 18 o C?
V 1 = V 2 n 1 n 2 Volume and # of moles is directly proportional EX: A balloon with 2.0 moles of helium has a volume of 44 L. What is the final volume if 3.0 moles more of helium is added?
Standard Temperature and Pressure P = 1 atm T = 273 K At STP…1 mole of a gas has a volume of 22.4 L EX: What is the volume of 64 g of oxygen?
P total = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 + … EX: A mixture of nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 4.2 atm. Nitrogen has a partial pressure of 3.0 atm. What is the partial pressure of oxygen?
