Warm Up 1.A sample of an element is malleable and can conduct electricity. This element could be ____________________. 2.Ms Hughes wants to teach her class about the gold foil experiment. Which of the following models would best communicate the results of that experiment?

Announcements Unit 7 test this Friday (3/19) Stay on top of your grades this quarter- make sure you’ve taken unit 6 test (it’s really short!) Welcome to fourth quarter!!!

Mystery Element #1: It is a gas. #2: Fills Valentine and birthday balloons. #3: Has atomic number 2

Take 1

Multiple Trials Doing an experiment multiple times or having multiple subjects Necessary to reduce error by taking the average Need a trial that has the control group (original form)

Gases Particles are: –Spread apart –In constant motion –Very small –Exert force on each other when collide –Exert force on container when collide –Which is the gas?

Pumping a Bicycle Tire Imagine a flat tire with no air in it at all. Answer the following questions with a hypothesis –At the beginning, if you add more air by pumping the tire, what will happen to the tire? Describe what will happen to the pressure, temperature and volume. –Near the end (when the tire is almost full), if you add more air by pumping, what will happen to the tire? Describe what will happen to the pressure, temperature and volume.

An Ideal Gas When scientists study gases they assume the following –Gases consist of many particles that are far apart –Gas particles lose no energy when they collide –Gas particles are in continuous random motion –There are no intermolecular forces between gas particles Are any of these assumptions unrealistic? Why? –Support or reject each assumption with a complete sentence.

Ideal vs. Real Gases Ideal gases act very closely to how real gases act –They are good approximations, but not perfect. Often times, scientists use ideal models instead of the real world. Answer the following in complete sentences –Why would a scientist use an ideal model instead of a real model? –As a person who relies on scientists for information, do you think it is okay for scientists to use models?

Gases are most like real gases when… Temperature is HIGH Volume is LOW Why???

The Properties of Gases Let’s consider an ideal gas’s volume Write a hypothesis for each question below –How does pressure affect the volume of a gas? –How does temperature affect the volume of a gas? –How does the number of moles of gas affect the volume of a gas? If…then…because…

Making an Equation Set volume (V) on the left side of the equation Consider each variable –If both increase at the same time they belong on opposite sides of the equation. –If one increases and the other decreases they belong on the same side. Create an equation with –V - Volume –P - Pressure –T - Temperature –n – number of moles

The Ideal Gas Law An ideal gas behaves according to the following equation R is the ideal gas constant number of moles

The Units of R What can the units for pressure (P) be? –Which number could you use if the units were torr? What can the units for temperature (T) be? What can the units for volume (V) be? What can the units for moles (n) be?

Ideal Gas Law Problem What is the pressure in atmospheres exerted by a mol sample of nitrogen gas (N 2 ) in a 10.0 L container at 298 K?

To solve problems: we have to… Read the problem Identify what you know and don’t know. Write the formula/equation. Plug in numbers you know. Solve for what you don’t know know (using a calculator). Remember units!

A Harder One What pressure is exerted by a mol of hydrogen gas in a 4.08 L container at 35K? A atm B.2.01 atm C atm D.0.23 atm E.23.2 atm

Practice 1.A gas sample occupies 8.77 L at 20 K. What is the pressure, in atm, given that there are 1.45 mol of gas in the container? 2.What is the volume, in liters, of mol of O 2 at 20.0 K and atm?
