1. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 20001 Ideal Gas Law The equality for the four variables involved in Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, Gay-Lussac’s Law and Avogadro’s law can be written PV = nRT R = ideal gas constant

2. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 20002 Ideal Gases Behave as described by the ideal gas equation; no real gas is actually ideal Within a few %, ideal gas equation describes most real gases at room temperature and pressures of 1 atm or less In real gases, particles attract each other reducing the pressure Real gases behave more like ideal gases as pressure approaches zero.

3. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 20003 PV = nRT R is known as the universal gas constant Using STP conditions P V R = PV = (1.00 atm)(22.4 L) nT (1mol) (273K) n T = 0.0821 L-atm mol-K

8. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 20008 Density of a Gas Calculate the density in g/L of O 2 gas at STP. From STP, we know the P and T. P = 1.00 atm T = 273 K Rearrange the ideal gas equation for moles/L PV = nRTPV = nRT P = n RTV RTV RT V

9. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 20009 Substitute (1.00 atm ) mol-K = 0.0446 mol O 2 /L (0.0821 L-atm) (273 K) Change moles/L to g/L 0.0446 mol O 2 x 32.0 g O 2 = 1.43 g/L 1 L 1 mol O 2 Therefore the density of O 2 gas at STP is 1.43 grams per liter

10. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 200010 Formulas of Gases A gas has a % composition by mass of 85.7% carbon and 14.3% hydrogen. At STP the density of the gas is 2.50 g/L. What is the molecular formula of the gas?

19. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 200019 Partial Pressure Pressure each gas in a mixture would exert if it were the only gas in the container Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures The total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the gases in that mixture. P T = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 +.....

20. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 200020 Partial Pressures The total pressure of a gas mixture depends on the total number of gas particles, not on the types of particles. STP P = 1.00 atm P = 1.00 atm 1.0 mol He 0.50 mol O 2 + 0.20 mol He + 0.30 mol N 2

21. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 200021 Health Note When a scuba diver is several hundred feet under water, the high pressures cause N 2 from the tank air to dissolve in the blood. If the diver rises too fast, the dissolved N 2 will form bubbles in the blood, a dangerous and painful condition called "the bends". Helium, which is inert, less dense, and does not dissolve in the blood, is mixed with O 2 in scuba tanks used for deep descents.

22. Lecture PLUS Timberlake 200022 Learning Check G20 A 5.00 L scuba tank contains 1.05 mole of O 2 and 0.418 mole He at 25°C. What is the partial pressure of each gas, and what is the total pressure in the tank?
