1. GASES 13.2

2. Chapter Thirteen: The Behavior of Gases  13.1 Gases, Pressure, and the Atmosphere  13.2 The Gas Laws

3. Chapter 13.2 Learning Goals  Explain how pressure, temperature, volume, and the number of molecules in a gas are related when one or more of these factors in held constant.  Apply the gas laws to solve problems.  Analyze graphs of data to explain how factors like pressure and volume are related.

4. Investigation 13B  Key Question: How are pressure and volume of a gas related? Boyle’s Law

5. 13.2 Boyle’s Law  When you squeeze a fixed quantity of gas into a smaller volume the pressure goes up.  This rule is known as Boyle’s law.

7. Solving Problems  A kit used to fix flat tires consists of an aerosol can containing compressed air and a patch to seal the hole in the tire.  Suppose 5 liters of air at atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is compressed into a 0.5 liter aerosol can. What is the pressure of the compressed air in the can?  Assume no change in temperature or mass.

8. 1.Looking for:  …final pressure in atmospheres (P 2 ) 2.Given  …V 1 = 5 L, P 1 = 1 atm, V 2 =.5 L 3.Relationships:  Boyle’s Law: P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 4.Solution  Rearrange equation so P 2 = P 1 V 1 / V 2  P 2 = 1atm x 5.0 L/ 0.5 L = 10 atm. Solving Problems

9. 13.2 Pressure and Temperature  The pressure of a gas is affected by temperature changes.  If the mass and volume are kept constant, the pressure goes up when the temperature goes up, and down when the temperature goes down.

10. 13.2 Gay-Lussac’s Law

11. 13.2 Pressure and Temperature  Any time we apply gas laws, the the temperature must be in Kelvins.  Only the Kelvin scale starts from absolute zero, when energy of particles is theoretically zero.

12. 13.2 Charles’ Law  According to Charles’ law, the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature.  Volume decreases with decreasing temperature.

13. 13.2 Charles’ Law  A hot-air balloon floats because the air inside is less dense than the air outside.

14. Solving Problems  A can of hair spray has a pressure of 300 psi at room temperature 21°C.  The can is accidentally moved too close to a fire and its temperature increases to 295°C.  What is the final pressure in the can? (Round answer to nearest whole number.)

15. 1.Looking for:  …final pressure in atmospheres (P 2 ) 2.Given  …P 1 = 300 atm, T 1 = 21  C, T 2 = 295  C 3.Relationships:  Convert temps using K =  C + 273  Charles’ Law: P 1 /T 1 = P 2 /T 2 4.Solution  Rearrange equation so P 2 = P 1 xT 2 / T 1  P 2 = 300 atm. x 568K / 294K = 580 atm. Solving Problems

16. Investigation 13C  Key Question: What is the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas? Charles’ Law

17. Up, Up and Away  Airplanes use air pressure in many different ways. Air pressure is used to keep an aircraft in the air as well as to propel it forward. Flight instruments use air pressure to measure altitude, air speed, and vertical speed. Finally, a pressurized airplane uses air pressure to maintain appropriate pressure for human survival in its cabin.
