Gases

Gases are made of independently moving particles. These particles move in random directions at varying speeds until they collide with another particle or a barrier.

Gases A gas has no definite volume or shape. The Gas Laws pertain to an Ideal Gas, an imaginary gas that serves as a model for gas behaviors.

Is it real or ideal? Ideal Conditions/Ideal Gas - imaginary gas that fits the all assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory Real Gas – particles have size and intermolecular attraction to other particles, so do not conform to gas laws under very high pressure or very low temperatures.

Kinetic Theory based on idea that particles are always in motion At SAME temperature, all gases have the SAME kinetic energy (KE) But gases do not all have same speed

KE = ½ m v 2 m = mass v = velocity Rearrange to fastest to slowest O 2 CO 2 H 2 N 2 _____________________ Why?? –Well who’s faster, a 350 lb football player or a 120 lb runner?

ALL gases at the SAME temperature have the same average KE If the KE = 20, note the speed for the gases. H 2 KE = ½ m v 2 20 = ½ 2g v 2 20 = 1 v 2 20/1 = v 2 20 = v 2 v 2 = / 20 v = Ar KE = ½ m v 2 20 = ½ 40g v 2 20 = 20 v 2 20/20 = v 2 1 = v 2 v 2 = /1 v = 1

Kinetic molecular theory assumptions: 1. Gases consist of large # of tiny molecules that are far apart relative to their size. Thus they have low density and lots of empty space between them.

Kinetic molecular theory assumptions: 2. Lots of elastic collisions –- don’t stick together after collisions. –No net loss of kinetic energy 3. NO attraction or repulsion for each other (ideal gases do not condense to a liquid or a solid as no attraction)

Kinetic molecular theory assumptions: (cont) 4. Kinetic energy = energy of motion Gas particles are in constant, rapid motion that is random. Therefore, passes “kinetic energy” = energy of motion. 5. Average kinetic energy depends on the temperature of the gas.

The Nature of Gases for Ideal gases 1. Expand to fit container - no definite shape or volume 2.Fluidity - slide past each other – fluid as attraction forces not significant 3.Low density - particles far apart 4.Compressibility – particles can be pressed close together.

Nature cont. 5. Diffusion - random mixing caused by random motion Rate of Diffusion depends on: a. Temperature (hot is faster) b. Size (small is faster) c.Attractive forces between particles (no attraction is faster) –O 2 vsH 2 O

Nature cont. 6. Effusion - gas particles under pressure pass through tiny openings Smaller molecule → faster effusion (Does a balloon stay full forever? Why not?)

To describe gases, 4 measurable qualitites are used Volume (V) Temperature (T) Number of molecules (moles) (n) Pressure (P) PV = nRT (R = constant)

Pressure Pressure = force/unit area (Force is in Newtons (N)) Force is caused by gas molecules hitting wall - their collisions Air around us exerts a pressure on us. What would happen to your eyeballs if you were to go out into outer space?? Where is the most pressure - sea level, ocean bottom, mountain top?

Standard Temperature & Pressure (STP) -- must be standard to compare things STP = 1 atmosphere (atm) and 0 o C at sea level, pressure = 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr

Conversions Standard Pressure with different units 1 atmosphere(atm) =760 mm Hg (millimeter of mercury) =760 torr =14.7 lb/in 2 =76 cm Hg =29.9 in Hg = 1013 millibar (mbar) = 101,325 Pascal = KPa (SI unit) Pascal - the SI unit = 1N/ m 2

These all equal each other, Therefore can use as conversion factors Given 700 mm Hg, how many atm? 700 mm Hg ___1 atm_______ = 760 mm Hg 0.92 atm

Covert the following 860 mm Hg = ______ atm 720 torr = ______ in Hg 0.89 atm = ______ mm Hg 1.2 atm = ______ in Hg

The Gas Laws Boyles Law -the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies INVERSELY with the pressure at constant temperature. So as P increases  V decreases ! yles_Law_audio.htmhttp://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Bo yles_Law_audio.htm

As pressure increases, the volume decreases Temperature and number of moles are constant

The effects of decreasing the volume of a sample of gas at constant temperature. Molecules hit more often, so Pressure Increases

Boyle’s Law P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 initial = final Inversely proportional

Boyle’s law Ex. A sample of O 2 has a volume of 100 ml and a pressure of 200 torr. What will it’s volume be if the pressure is increased to 300 torr (T is kept constant) First think – what is the relationship? P increases, then V decreases

Boyle’s law P 1 xV 1 = P 2 x V torr x 100 ml = 300 torr x V 2 V 2 = ml

Plotting Boyle's data from Table 5.1. (a) A plot of P versus V shows that the volume doubles as the pressure is halved. (b) A plot of V versus 1/P gives a straight line. The slope of this line equals the value of the constant k.

Charles Law deals with Volume and temperature (Pressure constant). V and T (in Kelvin) are directly proportional As you INCREASE the temperature - molecules MOVE faster KE (Kinetic energy) increases as molecules jump around more les_Law_audio.htm

Charles Law Temperature MUST be in Kelvin (K) Found gases had “zero” volume at -273 o C So named this Absolute Zero, which equals 0 Kelvin = 0 K K = ____ o C o C = ___ K - 273

Charles Law V 1 =T 1 V2T2V2T2 Can rewrite:V 1 T 2 = V 2 T 1 (Watch 1's & 2's) Directly proportional

The effects of increasing the temperature of a sample of gas at constant pressure. Molecules are moving FASTER so they hit the container harder, thus size must increase to keep P same

Charles Ex.A sample of neon gas occupies a volume of 752 ml at 25 o C. What volume will it occupy at 50 o C. Pressure is constant. Think first - as Temperature increases, Volume will ____________

Charles MUST change o C to Kelvin Given :V 1 = 752 ml T 1 = 25 o C = 298 K V 2 = ? T 2 = 50 o C = 323 K

Charles V 1 x T 2 =V 2 xT mlx 323 K=V 2 x298 K V 2 = 815 ml

Gay- Lussac’s Law the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume varies directly with the Kelvin temperature P 1 = T 1 P 2 T 2 direct proportion! Or P 1 x T 2 = P 2 x T 1 _Lussac_Law_audio.htm

Gas Mixtures and Partial Pressures Many gases are a mixture of gases; air being a prime example. We define the partial pressure of a gas which is the pressure a component of a gas mixture would have if it were all by itself in the same container.

Dalton’s Law John Dalton (atomic theory) extended the gas laws simply as: P total = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 + … This simply says that the sum of the partial pressures of the gases will add up to the total pressure. This way we can treat a mixture of gases just like a pure gas.

Partial Pressure Practice What would be the final pressure of the mixture of gases for the processes depicted in each of the following illustration? 400 Torr N Torr O Torr N 2 + O 2

Effusion and Diffusion Graham’s law of effusion - the rates of effusion of gases at the same temperature and pressure are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses. Rate of effusion A =  Mb Rate of effusion B  Ma

The effusion of a gas into an evacuated chamber.

Ex. Compare the rates of effusion of H 2 and O 2 at same temperature and pressure. Given: H 2 mol weight 2 O 2 mol weight 32 Rate of effusion H 2 = √ Mass O 2 Rate of effusion O 2 √ Mass H 2

Ex. Compare the rates of effusion of H 2 and O 2 at same temperature and pressure. Given: H 2 mol weight 2 O 2 mol weight 32 Rate of effusion H 2 = √ Mass O 2 Rate of effusion O 2 √ Mass H 2 √ 32 = 4 √ 2 Therefore H 2 effuses 4 times faster than O 2

Important Gas relationships As volume increases, pressure decreases at constant temperature As temperature increases, pressure increases at constant volume As temperature increases, volume increases at constant pressure Standard Temperature and Pressure -to compare gases use (standard temperature & Pressure STP) Standard temperature = 0 ° C Standard Pressure = 760 mm Hg = 1 atm average barometric pressure at sea level
