1. Gas! Aim 1: If we make rules about how gases behave, what truths
must we hold evident?
Objective: Learn the postulates of the
Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
Aim 2: How are pressure, volume and temperature of gases
related?
Objectives: -Be able to solve problems relating pressure,
volume and temperature
-Understand how real gases deviate from the KMT
-Know the conditions under which a real gas
will behave more ideally

2. Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
Particles are in constant, random, straight-line motion
As temperature increases, particle motion increases
Collisions between particles and with particles and the container are perfectly elastic
The volume of the particles themselves are negligible
There are no attractions between the particles

3. 1. Constant, straight-line motion

4. 2. As temperature increases, particle motion increases.

5. 3. Collisions between particles are perfectly elastic

7. 4. The volume of gas particles are negligible.

8. In which picture does the volume of the individual particles contribute to the total volume more?

9. 5. Gas particles are not attracted to each other.

10. Do gases follow the rules?
An ideal gas follows all the rules of the Kinetic Molecular Theory. Just like an ideal student follows all the rules of school and learning. Do ideal students exist?
In reality, gases do not follow the rules.
Gas particles ARE attracted to each other.
Individual gas particles DO have volume.
How can you make a real gas behave more ideally?

11. Aim: How do pressure, volume and temperature of gases interact ?
How are temperature and pressure related? Make a graph, explain the relationship and provide an example.
How are temperature and volume related? Make a graph, explain the relationship and provide an example.
How are pressure and volume related? Make a graph, explain the relationship and provide an example.
You have 20 minutes to work in groups of 3.
