The Gaseous State Chapter 10
2
Kinetic Theory Kinetic energy is the NRG of motion The Kinetic Theory states that all particles of matter are in constant motion
3
Assumptions of Kinetic Theory in relation to gases: 1.Gases are composed of small, hard spheres with an insignificant volume 2.They are far apart with empty space in between
4
3. There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the particles 4. The particles move rapidly and are in constant motion 5. They travel in straight paths independently of each other
5
6. Gases fill their container indefinitely (they will expand) 7. Only change direction after colliding with something else 8. All collisions are perfectly elastic – no energy loss
6
The kinetic theory is helpful in explaining gas pressure Gas pressure: force exerted by a gas on its container An empty space with no particles = vacuum = no pressure
7
Atmospheric pressure – the pressure of air around earth – dependent on the weather Barometers measure air pressure
8
SI Unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa) At sea level, Atm. Pressure is 101.3 kilopascals (kPa) mmHg and atmospheres (atm) are older units of pressure 1atm = 760mmHg = 101.3kPa
9
The standard conditions to relate measured values to are 1atm (101.3kPa) and 0 o C, or STP – this is important when discussing gases and gas pressure
10
When a substance is heated, the particles store some of the absorbed NRG (potential) but the NRG not stored increases the speed of the particles, the average kinetic NRG & the temperature
11
The actual particles have a wide range of kinetic energies – but temperature is the average kinetic energy At high temperatures, there is a wider range of kinetic NRGs
12
As a substance cools, the particles lose energy & slow down Absolute Zero (0K, -273 o C) theoretical temperature when no movement occurs = no NRG
