2. KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY

3. Kinetic Molecular Theory A theory that explains the physical properties of gases by describing the behavior of subatomic particles

4. Physical Properties of Gases: Gases have mass Gases are easily compressed Gases completely fill their containers Gases diffuse rapidly Gases exert pressure

5. KMT has 5 postulates:

6. #1 A gas consists of very small particles that have mass. (molecules or atoms)

7. #2 Gas particles are very far apart from each other. (therefore gases are easily compressed)

8. #3 Gas particles are in continuous, rapid, random motion.

9. #4 Collisions of gas particles (with each other and with container) are perfectly elastic (no energy lost)

10. #5 The average energy of the gas particles depends on the temperature of the gas.

11. We can measure gases in 4 ways: MeasurementUnit Amount of gasMoles Volume (V)Liters (L) Temperature (T)°C, °F, or K Pressure (P)atm, kPa, Torr, mm Hg, or lb/in 2

12. Temperature (T) A measurement of the average kinetic energy of a substance

13. Higher temperatures cause gas particles to move faster

14. K =  C + 273 14  C = ? K 14  C + 273 = 287K To solve gas problems, the temp must always be in Kelvin (K) !!!

15. Pressure (P) The force per unit area on a surface

16. Pressure is caused by gas particles slamming into the container’s walls.

17. Units of Pressure: 1) atmosphere (atm) 2) kilopascal (kPa) 3) millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg) 4) Torr 5) Pounds per square inch (lb/in 2 ) 1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr = 14.7 lb/in 2

18. STOP… collaborate and listen

19. Boyle’s Law MUST BE AT CONSTANT TEMPERATURE!! P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 1 = before 2 = after

20. A gas occupies a volume of 0.458 L at a pressure of 1.01 kPa and temperature of 295 Kelvin. Although the temperature stays the same, the volume is increased to 0.477 L. What is the new pressure? 0.970 kPa

21. Charles’ Law MUST BE AT CONSTANT PRESSURE!! V 1 T 2 = V 2 T 1 1 = before 2 = after

22. What will be the volume of a gas sample at 309 K if its volume at 215 K is 3.42 L? Assume that pressure is constant. 4.92 L

23. Gay-Lussac’s Law MUST BE AT CONSTANT VOLUME!! 1 = before 2 = after

24. A balloon with a pressure of 0.900 atm is heated from 105 K to 155 K. If volume is held constant, what is the new pressure? 1.33 atm

25. Confused yet??? There’s an easier way…

26. Combined Gas Law 1 = before 2 = after JUST HOLD ONE QUANTITY CONSTANT!! (take it out of the equation)

27. The gas in a 0.010 L container has a pressure of 1.39 atmospheres. When the gas is transferred to a 0.017 L container at the same temperature, what is the pressure of the gas? 0.82 atm

28. The gas inside a 70.8 mL piston has a temperature of 35.0°C. If the temperature is raised to 100.0°C, what is the new volume of the gas? 85.7 mL

29. An elastic container is inflated to a volume of 18.0 liters at a pressure of 1.26 atm. The container then expands to a new volume at a pressure of 1.05 atm. What is the new volume? 21.6 liters

30. Avagadro’s Law Equal volumes of gas (at same P and T) contain the same amount of particles

31. 1 mole = 6.02 x 10 23 particles Only works at same P and T 1 mole = 22.4 L

32. Ideal Gas Law The mother of all gas laws. It includes everything! PV = nRT

33. P = pressure (atm) V = volume (L) n = moles (mol) R = Gas Constant T = Temperature (Kelvin) PV = nRT

34. MUST USE THESE UNITS!!! PV = nRT

35. If the pressure exerted by a gas at 0.00°C in a volume of 0.0010 L is 5.00 atm, how many moles of gas are present? 2.2 x 10 -4 moles

36. Ideal gases don’t really exist… …real gases do!

37. Real Gas All gases are real gases. DUH!!

38. Ideal Gas A gas that is described by the KMT postulates.

39. Ideal Gas Law works most of the time.

40. It does NOT work at very low temperatures and very high pressures.

41. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures The sum of the partial pressures of the gases is equal to the total pressure

42. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures P total = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 + …

43. A balloon contains O 2 and N 2 gas. If the partial pressure of the O 2 is 0.75 atm and the partial pressure of the N 2 is 0.55 atm, what is the total pressure of the balloon? 1.30 atm

44. The gas inside a 70.8 mL can contains H 2 O (g) and CO 2(g) and has a total pressure of 760 mm Hg. If the partial pressure of the H 2 O is 350 mm Hg, what is the partial pressure of the CO 2 ? 410 mm Hg

45. Graham’s Law Gases with smaller masses move faster than gases with large masses (like a kid in Walmart)
