The Behavior of Gases

2. # of particles related gas pressure
The pressure of a gas :
the force per unit area that the particles exert on the walls of their container.
Pressure =

3. # of particles related to gas pressure
Pump more air inside a ball
more particles
mass of air inside increases
more collision (inner wall of ball)
higher pressure (at a given temp) inside the ball

4. # of particles related to gas pressure
pressure (of a gas) mass

5. Defining Gas According to the kinetic theory,
all matter is composed of particles in constant motion, and
pressure is caused by the force of (g) particles striking the walls of their container.
The more often (g) particles collide with the walls of their container, the > the pressure.

6. # of particles related to gas pressure
pressure # particles (mol)
Doubling the # of gas particles in a basketball doubles the pressure

7. Quick write
The pressure inside a balloon always = to the atm pressure.
How does the balloon adjust the pressure inside when it is transferred to places of different temperatures?

8. Temperature Related to Pressure
At higher temp
the (g) particles possess more KE
move faster
collide with the walls of the container more often and with greater force,
so the pressure rises.
i.e. When temp increases, pressure also increases.

9. Temperature Related to Pressure
At constant volume (of the container),
pressure K temp.
e.g. gas in a glass bottle. When temp increases, pressure increases.
At constant pressure,
volume of a gas K temp.
e.g. gas in a balloon. When temp increases, → bigger.

10. Barometer
The height of the Hg column measures the pressure exerted by the atm.
We live at the bottom of an ocean of air.
The highest pressures occur at the lowest altitudes.
When going up a mountain, atm pressure decreases because the depth of air above you is less.

11. Barometer standard atmosphere (atm)
the pressure that supports a 760-mm column of Hg.

12. Pressure Units
Because the pascal is a small pressure unit, it is more convenient to use kilopascal (kPa)
1 std atm pressure is equivalent to 101 kPa.

13. 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 Torrs = 14.7 psi = 101.3 kPa
Pressure Units (3)
Pounds per square inch (psi) continues to be widely used in engineering and almost all nonscientific applications in the U.S.
Pressure inside car tires. e.g. 36 psi
Equivalent Pressures
1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 Torrs = 14.7 psi = kPa

14. The Gas Laws ideal gases (kinetic theory) 5 statements.
(1) particles do not attract or repel each other.
(2) particles are much smaller than the spaces between them. (total volume of particles ≈ 0)
Assumptions are not true when pressure is very high ; total volume of particles becomes significant.

15. The Gas Laws (3) (g) particles are in constant, random motion.
(4) No KE is lost when (g) particles collide with each other or with the walls of their container.(perfectly elastic)
(5) All (g) have the same KE at a given temp.

16. Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume
Robert Boyle ( ), (English).

17. Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume
After performing many expts with (g) at constant temp, Boyle got 4 findings.
(1) If the pressure of a (g) increases, its volume decreases proportionately.
(2) If the pressure of a gas decreases, its volume increases proportionately.
(3) If volume of a (g) increases, its pressure decreases proportionately.
(4) If volume of a (g) decreases, its pressure increases proportionately.

18. Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume

19. Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume
the pressure and volume of a (g) at constant temperature are inversely proportional.

20. Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume

21. Boyle’s Law
At a constant temp, the pressure exerted by a (g) depends on the frequency of collisions between (g) particles and the container.
the same # of particles is squeezed into a smaller space → the frequency of collisions increases →increasing the pressure.

22. Boyle’s Law
In math terms, this law is expressed as follows.
P1V1 = P2V2

23. Applying Boyle’s Law (1)
Example 1
A sample of compressed methane has a volume of 648 mL at a pressure of 503 kPa. To what pressure would the methane have to be compressed in order to have a volume of 216 mL?

24. Example 2 (Boyle’s Law)
A high-altitude balloon contains 30.0 L of He (g) at 103 kPa. What is the volume when the balloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is only 25.0 kPa? (Assume that the temp remains constant.)

25. Charles’s Law
When the temp of a sample of (g) is increased and the volume is free to change, the pressure does not change. (e.g. balloon)
Instead, the volume of the (g) increases in proportion to the increase in K temp.
Charles’s law : at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of (g) is directly proportional to its K temp.

26. Example 3

30. Gay-Lussac Law Gay-Lussac’s law
pressure of (g) is directly proportional to its K temp (volume constant)
Pressure α temperature (K) P1 P2 = T1 T2

31. Example 5 (Gay-Lussac’s Law)
