Two cartoons in honor of my husband’s birthday…
Friday, Jan. 25 th : “A” Day Monday, Jan. 28 th : “B” Day Agenda “Charles’ Law” lab – finish/collect Begin Section 12.3: “Molecular Composition of Gases” Ideal gas law, diffusion, effusion, Graham’s law of diffusion Homework: “Chemistry: Practice Problems for the Gas Laws” Concept Review – the 1 st 2 sections should be done… We will finish section 12.3 next time…
“Charles’ Law: The Effect of Temperature on Volume” By now, you should have completed the data table and graphed your data. Make sure your graph has a title and the axis’ are labeled, including units. With your lab partner, take about 15 – 20 minutes to complete the conclusion questions before the lab will be due. Remember to use complete sentences when answering all lab questions.
Review of Basic Gas Laws
Ideal Gas Ideal gas: an imaginary gas whose particles are infinitely small and do not interact with each other. An ideal gas: 1.Does not condense to a liquid at low temperatures 2.Does not have forces of attraction or repulsion between the particles 3.Is composed of particles that have no volume
Ideal Gas Law Ideal gas law: the law that states the mathematical relationship of pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), the gas constant (R), and the number of moles of a gas (n). PV = nRT “Pivnert” Remember: temperature is in Kelvins!
Ideal Gas Law R is a proportionality constant The value of R used in calculations depends on the units used for pressure. For Pressure in kPa: R = L∙kPa mol∙K For Pressure in atm: R = L∙atm mol∙K
Ideal Gas Law Real gases deviate somewhat from an ideal gas and more so at very high pressures.
Sample Problem E Pg. 435 How many moles of gas are contained in liters at kPa and 0°C? Use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT P = kPa V = liters n = ? R = L∙kPa mol∙K T = 0˚C = 273 K n = 1.00 mole
Additional Practice What is the volume of 4.35 moles of a gas at a pressure of 85.6 kPa and 26.0˚C? Use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT P = 85.6 kPa V = ? n = 4.35 moles R = L∙kPa mol∙K T = 26.0˚C = 299 K V = 126 Liters
Diffusion When you open a bottle of household ammonia, the odor of ammonia gas doesn’t take long to fill the room. Why? Diffusion: the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density. The process of diffusion involves an increase in entropy (S).
Effusion Effusion: The passage of a gas under pressure through a tiny opening. Scottish scientist Thomas Graham found that at constant temperature and pressure, the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the gas’s molar mass, M.
Graham’s law of diffusion V A = M B V B M A V = velocity (molecular speed) of gas A and B M = molar mass of gas A and B Particles with lower molar mass travel faster than heavier particles.
Sample Problem F, pg 438 Oxygen molecules have an average speed of about 480 m/s at room temperature. At the same temperature, what is the average speed of molecules of sulfur hexafluoride, SF 6 ? Gas A = SF 6 V A = ? M A : 146 g/mol Gas B = Oxygen V B = 480 m/s M B : 32 g/mol V A__ = 32 - do division under and cross multiply to find V A V A = 225 m/s
Additional Practice The average velocity of CO 2 molecules at room temperature is 409 m/s. What is the molar mass of a gas whose molecules have an average velocity of 322 m/s under the same conditions? Gas A = CO 2 V A = 409 m/s M A = 44 g/mol Gas B = X V B = 322 m/s M B = ? 409 m/s = M B 1.27 = M B 322 m/s 44 g/mol 44 g/mol - Square each side to solve for M B M B = 71 g/mol
