Gas Laws

2. MEASURING GASES Four Variables: Amount of gas Volume Temperature
Pressure

3. AMOUNT OF GAS (n)
Quantity of gas in a given sample is expressed in terms of moles of gas
n =mass = m (g)____
molar mass M (g/mol)
One mole of NaCl,
= mass of g.
One mole of the liquid,
= mass of 18.0 g and
occupies a volume of
18.0 mL.
One mole of the gas,
= mass of 32.0 g and
occupies a balloon
whose diameter is 35 cm

4. VOLUME (V) Gas uniformly fills any container in which it is placed
Volume of gas = volume of its container
Metric unit = L
1 L = 1000 cm3

5. TEMPERATURE (T) Measured with thermometer in degree Celsius (˚C)
Must be converted to Kelvin temp scale
No negative temps
T (K) = T (˚C) + 273

6. PRESSURE (P)
Outward force of gas spread over the area of the container is called pressure
P = Force
Area
Pressure =
Pascal (Pa)

7. ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
Gases of atmosphere also exert pressure on everything come into contact with
(gas) density = Mass (of gas)
Volume
P = m V
Atmospheric Pressure decreases with height

8. ***all of these equal each other!***
Pressure Conversions
STP means standard temperature and pressure
1 standard atmosphere = atm = mm Hg = torr =101,325 Pa = psi
***all of these equal each other!***
Temperature: 0 ˚C or 273 K

10. CHARLES LAW

11. Charles’s Law Volume of a gas increases with temperature.
(Gases expand with heat).
↑ T = ↑ V ↓ T = ↓ V
Charles’s Law
*Constant amount of gas at a
constant pressure
Jacques Charles proposes Charles's Law. 1787

13. ***temperature MUST be in Kelvin (absolute zero) NOT oC or oF!***
The formula for the law is:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Where:
V1 is the initial volume
T1 is the initial temperature
V2 is the final volume
T2 is the final temperature
***temperature MUST be in Kelvin
(absolute zero) NOT oC or oF!***

14. Set up of Demonstration.

Sketch/Record difference in volume between the balloons.
How does temperature effect the volume of a gas? Think about the gas molecules in each balloon.

31. Station 2 Microwave Popcorn
Key Concept ~ When the temperature of a gas is
increased, its volume will increase.
Students will be micro waving small amounts of popcorn in a clear bowl.
Popcorn pops when the moisture inside boils and expands, bursting the kernel open.
Instructions: Place about two tablespoons of popcorn in the clear plastic bowl. Put the top on the bowl and place in the microwave.
microwave on high and observe
Questions: Describe what you see (yeah, I know, but try). What do you think makes the popcorn pop? Put your popcorn in a paper bag and then squirt in some butter if you wish.

32. Station 9 Super Duster & Office Buster
Key Concept ~ When the volume of a gas increases, its temperature will decrease.
Obtain a can of compressed "air," such as those used to clean electronic equipment. As you depress the nozzle, the gas inside (typically an HFC) responds to the reduced pressure by "boiling" or rapidly turning into a gas. This is an endothermic process so the can gets extremely cold (can even cause frost-bite if you hold it too long.) I like the students to relate this to the phenomenon of water boiling at lower temperatures at high altitudes due to the lower pressure. (Lots of campers know this very well.)
The classic Drinking Bird uses a similar concept and makes a good companion to this station.

37. BOYLE’S LAW

38. Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume are inversely proportional.
↓ volume = ↑ pressure
↑ volume = ↓ pressure
1662, Robert Boyle

39. Boyle’s Law Formula: P1V1 = P2V2 Inverse ↑ P : ↓ V
This works because, if the volume of a container is increased, there is a greater area in which the particles of gas inside the container can move. Since the particles have more space, there is less force exerted on the walls of the container by the particles and therefore, less pressure.
* a constant amount of gas
* constant temperature

76. Cartesian Diver to Display Boyle's Law
One 2-liter bottle (clear)
One small glass dropper
Water
Once you've managed to gather these supplies, it would be advised to find a handyman or somebody skilled in construction/engineering to assist in deciphering the following steps:
Fill the 2 liter bottle between 2/3 and 3/4 full of water.
Take your eyedropper, the "diver" and fill it with just enough water so that the top of the dropper is just buoyant enough to tread the water.
Apply the lid to the 2 liter bottle. It must be airtight!
Squeeze the bottle.
Observe.
If you have successfully followed the instructions, good for you. Your Cartesian diver should dive to the bottom as you squeeze the bottle. That's Boyle's law in action!
When you squeeze inward, you are reducing the volume of the bottle. As we know, this reduction in volume increases the pressure of all of the gas, including what is contained in your eyedropper.
This increase in pressure pushes against the water, forcing more water up into the eyedropper. As you can see, this additional water decreases the diver's buoyancy, causing it to "dive" to the bottom. Stop squeezing the bottle and everything returns to normal, allowing your diver to ascend back to the water's surface. You would be keen to let go slowly, so your diver doesn't ascend too quickly. Wouldn't want it getting the bends!

83. Guy- Lusaac’s Law

84. Guy Lusaac’s Law
French chemist Joseph Louis Guy-Lussac
in 1802
= the pressure of a fixed mass and fixed volume of a gas is directly proportional to the gas's temperature
↑ temperature = ↑ pressure
↓ temperature = ↓ pressure
When comparing two substances:
P1/T1=P2/T2
P/T=k Where: P is the pressure of the gas T is the temperature of the gas (in kelvins) k is a constant

107. Example:
Five grams of octane (C8H18) and enough oxygen to burn it are in an automobile cylinder compressed to 20 atm at 28°C. The mixture explodes and heats the cylinder to 150°C. What is the pressure in the (same sized) cylinder after the explosion?
P1 = 20 atm
T1 = 301K,
P1 / T1 = P2 / T2
P2 = ?
(20)/(301) = (P2)/(423)
T2 = 423 K
P2 = 28.4 atm

P2 = ??
T2 = = 350K
P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

112. Le Chatelier’s Principle
If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium will shift to reduce the stress.

113. 3 types of stress: Change amount of reactants and/or products
Change Pressure

b/c partial pressures ( and concentrations) change, a new equilibrium must be reached
System will move in direction that has least moles of gas
Change in Temperature
