Gases
2
Chemistry Review Atom – smallest piece of an element Molecule – smallest piece of a compound – two or more atoms chemically bonded Mole – counting number equal to 6.022 x 10 23 Molar Mass – number of grams of a substance per mole – equal to the atomic mass on the periodic table
3
Review How many moles in 5.5g of hydrogen gas? How many molecules in 2.5 moles of oxygen? What is the mass of one molecule of helium gas?
4
Kinetic Theory Matter is made of particles in continuous motion Particles move in random directions at a variety of speeds Particles of gases are on average very far apart from one another
5
Molecules of gases interact only when they collide Collisions are perfectly elastic (no loss of kinetic energy)
6
Pressure Units 1atm = 760mmHg = 760torr = 101kPa STP – standard temp and pressure (0°C and 1 atm)
7
Gas Laws Volume is proportional to the temperature – Charles Law ( V 1 /T 1 = V 2 /T 2 ) Volume is inversely prop to temp – Boyles Law ( P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 ) Pressure is prop to temp – Gay-Lussac’s Law ( P 1 /T 1 = P 2 /T 2 ) Combined Gas Law puts them together ( P 1 V 1 /T 1 = P 2 V 2 /T 2 )
8
Ideal Gas One that follows all kinetic theory Volume of a gas also depends on the number of moles Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT R =.0821 Latm/ molK
9
Examples Determine the volume of 1.00 mole of a gas at STP. A container of oxygen at STP has a volume of 10.0 L. What is the mass of the gas?
10
Examples A helium party balloon has a radius of 18.0cm at 20°C and 1.05 atm. How many moles of He are in the balloon and what is the mass of the gas in the balloon? An auto tire is filled to a pressure of 200kPa at 10°C. After driving 100km, the temp rises to 40°C. What is the pressure now?
11
Kinetic Energy of Molecules The average KE of molecules is directly proportional to the temp KE = ½ mv 2 = 3/2 kT k – Boltzman’s Constant = 1.38x10 -23 J/K
12
Example What is the average KE of gas molecules at 37°C?
13
Average Velocity Also called root mean square velocity v rms = m – mass (in kg) of one molecule of the gas
14
Example What is the rms speed of an oxygen molecule at 20°C?
