1. Kinetic Molecular Theory Matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules or ions) with definite and characteristic sizes that never change. The particles are in constant random motion, that is they possess kinetic energy. E k = 1 / 2 mv 2 The particles interact with each other through attractive and repulsive forces (electrostatic interactions), that is the possess potential energy. U = mgh The velocity of the particles increases as the temperature is increased therefore the average kinetic energy of all the particles in a system depends on the temperature. The particles in a system transfer energy form one to another during collisions yet no net energy is lost from the system. The energy of the system is conserved but the energy of the individual particles is continually changing.

2. PRESSURE A physical property of matter that describes the force particles have on a surface. Pressure is the force per unit area, P = F/A Pressure can be measured in: atmosphere (atm)atmosphere (atm) millimeters of mercury (mmHg)millimeters of mercury (mmHg) (torr) after Torricelli, the inventor of the mercury barometer (1643)(torr) after Torricelli, the inventor of the mercury barometer (1643) pounds per square inch (psi)pounds per square inch (psi) 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 14.69 psi

3. TEMPERATURE A physical property of matter that determines the direction of heat flow. Measured on three scales. Fahrenheit o F Celsius o CFahrenheit o F Celsius o C Kelvin KKelvin K o F = (1.8 o C) + 32 o C = ( o F - 32)/1.8 o F = (1.8 o C) + 32 o C = ( o F - 32)/1.8 K = o C + 273.15K = o C + 273.15

First make a list of the measurements made: P 1 =689 mmHgV 1 = 124 mL P 2 = ?V 2 = 75% V1 From the variables, choose the appropriate equation, in this case Boyle’s Law: P 1 V 1 =P 2 V 2 (689 mmHg) (124 mL) = P 2 (0.75 x 124 mL) Solve for P 2 : P 2 = (689mmHg) (124 mL) / (93 mL) = 919 mmHg Now convert to atm: 1.21 atm 919 mmHg (1 atm / 760 mmHg) = 1.21 atm

First make a list of the measurements made: V 1 =4.2 atmT 1 = 25 o Cc + 273.15 = 298.15 V 2 = 1/8 P 1 T 2 = ? From the variables, choose the appropriate equation, in this case Charles’ Law: V 1 /T 1 =V 2 /T 2 (V 1 ) / (298 K) = (1/8 V 1 ) / T 2 Solve for T 2 : T 2 = [(298 K) (1/8 V 1 )] / (V 1 ) = 298 / 8 = 37.3 K or -235 o C 3.

P 1 V 1 / T 1 = P 2 V 2 / T 2 rearranged to solve for V 2 is: V 2 = P 1 V 1 T 2 / P 2 T 1 V 2 = (640 mmHg)(720 mL) (273 K) / (760 mmHg) (310 K) V 2 = 534 mL
