3 Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers.
Physical Characteristics of Gases Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers. Gases are the most compressible state of matter. Gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to the same container. Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids. Gases exert pressure on their surroundings

4 The Gaseous State Ideal Gas Concept
Ideal gas - a model of the way that particles of a gas behave at the microscopic level. We can measure the following of a gas: temperature, volume, pressure and quantity (mass) We can systematically change one of the properties and see the effect on each of the others.

5 The most important gas laws involve the relationship between
Measurement of Gases The most important gas laws involve the relationship between number of moles (n) of gas volume (V) temperature (T) pressure (P) Pressure - force per unit area. Gas pressure is a result of force exerted by the collision of particles with the walls of the container.

6 Pressure Force exerted per unit area of surface by molecules in motion. 1 atmosphere = 14.7 psi 1 atmosphere = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr 1 atmosphere = 101,325 Pascals 1 Pascal = 1 kg/m.s2 = Newton/meter2 2

EXERCISE! Consider the following apparatus containing helium in both sides at 45°C. Initially the valve is closed. After the valve is opened, what is the pressure of the helium gas? The pressure is 2.25 atm. There are two ways to solve the problem: 1) Find the new pressure of the gas on the left side after the valve is opened (P1V1=P2V2). The pressure becomes 1.50 atm. (2.00 atm)(9.00 L) = (P2)(9.00 L L) P2 = 1.50 atm Find the new pressure of the gas on the right side after the valve is opened (P1V1=P2V2). The pressure becomes 0.75 atm. (3.00 atm)(3.00 L) = (P2)(9.00 L L) P2 = 0.75 atm The total pressure is therefore = 2.25 atm. 2) Find the number of moles in each chamber separately (using PV = nRT), add the number of moles and volumes on each side, then use PV = nRT to solve for the new pressure. 3.00 atm 3.00 L 2.00 atm 9.00 L Copyright © Cengage Learning.

82 Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
3 Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases Provides an explanation of the behavior of gases that we have studied in this chapter. Summary follows: 1. Gases are made up of small atoms or molecules that are in constant and random motion. 2. The distance of separation is very large compared to the size of the atoms or molecules. the gas is mostly empty space.

83 3. All gas particles behave independently.
No attractive or repulsive forces exist between them. 4. Gas particles collide with each other and with the walls of the container without losing energy. The energy is transferred from one atom or molecule to another. 5. The average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules is proportional to absolute temperature. K.E. = 1/2mv2 so as temperature goes up, the speed of the particles goes up.

84 4 How does the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases explain the following statements? Gases are easily compressible. Gases will expand to fill any available volume. Gases have low density.

An ideal gas is a hypothetical concept. No gas exactly follows the ideal gas law. We must correct for non-ideal gas behavior when: Pressure of the gas is high. Temperature is low. Under these conditions: Concentration of gas particles is high. Attractive forces become important. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

107 Gases behave most ideally at low pressure and high temperatures.
Ideal Gases Vs. Real Gases In reality there is no such thing as an ideal gas. Instead this is a useful model to explain gas behavior. Non-polar gases behave more ideally than polar gases because attractive forces are present in polar gases.
