I. Physical Properties (p. 399 – 402, ) Ch Gases Gases notes #1 - gas properties.ppt
In this lesson, you will learn: Physical properties of gases Real vs. ideal gas behavior Instruments for measuring gas pressure Units of temperature and pressure
Kinetic Molecular Theory Particles in an ideal gas… have no volume. have elastic collisions. are in constant, random, straight-line motion. don’t attract or repel each other. have an average kinetic energy (KE) directly related to Kelvin temperature.
Real Gases have their own volume attract each other Particles in a REAL gas… at low pressures at high temperatures in nonpolar atoms/molecules basically… when particles are far apart and don’t stick together Gas behavior is most ideal…
Characteristics of Gases Gases expand to fill any container. random motion, no attraction Gases are fluids (like liquids). no attraction Gases have very low densities. no particle volume = lots of empty space
C. Characteristics of Gases Gases can be compressed. no particle volume = lots of empty space Gases undergo diffusion & effusion. random motion
