3
Kinetic= motion All matter consists of small particles The molecules are in constant, random, rapid motion All collisions are elastic (no net loss of energy)
4
As temperature increases, the molecules velocity increases, increasing the pressure on the container.
5
The average distance traveled between collisions. An oxygen molecules will collide with other molecules 4.5 billion times per second!
6
The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its particles. Absolute zero – the temperature at which molecular motion stops (-273.15 o C)
7
Caused by gas molecules colliding with the sides of a container Force per unit area Units: 1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 760 mmHg = 760 torr
8
How many mmHg is in one kPa? 7.5 mmHg
10
Open Manometer – atmosphere exerts pressure on one side and gas sample exerts pressure on the other side ◦ Add if gas pressure is greater ◦ Subtract if air pressure is greater Closed Manometer (barometer) – vacuum on one side, gas pressure on the other side ◦ No addition or subtraction necessary

18
The pressure produced when vapor particles above a liquid collide with container walls; a dynamic equilibrium exists between the liquid and the vapor. Vapor pressure increases with temperature. A substance with weak intermolecular forces has a high vapor pressure and low boiling points. (these are volatile – alcohols, ethers) A substance with strong intermolecular forces has a low vapor pressure and high boiling point (these are nonvolatile – water, molasses, glycerol)
19
Critical Point – above this temperature, no amount of pressure can liquefy it. Triple Point – all three phases are in equilibrium
