Gases have mass.

Gases seem to be weightless, but they are classified as matter, which means they have mass.

The density of a gas – the mass per unit of volume – is much less than the density of a liquid or solid, however

.

Gases have mass

.

It’s this very low density that allows us to be able to walk through the room without concerning ourselves with air resistance.

Since it is so easy to “swim” across the room we don’t put much thought into the mass of a gas.

Gases can be compressed

A gases low density means there to is a lot of empty space between gas molecules

If you squeeze a gas

(increase pressure), its volume can be reduced considerably

Engine

We can use this ability of a gas to do work for us.

Think of a shocks on a car. You really are riding on a pillow of air.

A bump in the road compresses the gas in the shocks until the bump’s energy is absorbed.

Gases fill their containers

Gases expand until they take up as much room as they possibly can.

Gases spread out to fill containers until the concentration of gases is uniform

(the same) throughout the entire space.

This is why that nowhere around you is there an absence of air.

Gas particles are in constant random motion.

Gas particles move in a straight line until they collide with other particles or the sides of the container, which causes them to change directions until they collide with something else.

This bouncing off of everything around them spread the particles out until they are uniform throughout the entire container.

Motion states of matter

Gases diffuse

If I opened up a bag of popcorn in front of the class you would soon be able to smell it in the back.

The popcorn smell is a high energy molecule or group of molecules that is in the gas state.

Gases diffuse

Gases can move through each other rapidly.

The movement of one substance through another is called diffusion .

Because of all of the empty space between gas molecules, another gas molecule can pass between them until each gas is spread out over the entire container.

Diffusion

Why do gases diffuse?

Ordered systems have low entropy (S) – the more order, the lower a system’s entropy;

Disordered systems have high entropy – the more disorder, the higher system’s entropy.

Change in entropy is shown by ΔS.

ΔS = S before

– S after

S ice

< S water

< S steam

Why do gases diffuse?

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that changes leading to greater disorder are favored over changes that produce greater order.

So if there are no other influences in any spontaneous change, entropy increases.

Quantuum Casino

Gases diffuse

Gas molecules are in constant random motion; they will mix with other gases uniformly (evenly).

Some gases diffuse faster then other gases based on their size and their energy.

Diffusion explains why we can all breath oxygen anywhere in the room.

It also helps us minimize potential odoriferous problems.

Effusion

Gases effuse

Gases can move through very small spaces in “solid” surfaces. This is called effusion.

Latex balloons have small microscopic holes in them. Invisible to the human eye, but 1000 times larger than Helium atoms. The Helium atoms can escape relatively easily.

Why do Mylar balloons stay inflated longer?

Effusion

Gases effuse

Graham’s Law of Effusion states that the rate at which a gas effuses (or diffuses) is inversely proportional to its molar mass.

Translation: Bigger molecules move more slowly.

ν = speed m = molar mass

Effusion

Gases exert pressure

Gas particles exert pressure by colliding with objects in their path.

The sum of all of the collisions makes up the pressure the gas exerts.

Imagine a gas in a container as a room of hard rubber balls.

The collisions of the balls bouncing around exert a force on the object that with which they collide.

The definition of a pressure is a force per unit area – so the total of all of the tiny collisions makes up the pressure exerted by the gas.

The gases push against the walls of their containers with a force.

The pressure of gases is what keeps our tires inflated, makes our basketballs bounce, makes hairspray come out of the can, etc.

Kinetic Molecular Theory

A theory used to explain the behaviors and characteristics of gases.

KMT Assumptions

1) A gas is made up of many small particles that move constantly and randomly in straight lines.

2) The molecules in a gas occupy no volume.

3) When gas molecules collide, they don’t lose energy due to friction or gain energy either.

4) Gas molecules are not attracted to each other at all.

5) The kinetic energy of gas molecules depends only on the temperature of the gas.

KMT Assumptions

Ideal gases would be exactly like the description on the previous slide. It is useful to use them as a model.

However, they do not actually exist.

Real gases :

1) really are small, constantly moving particles

2) but, the molecules do have some volume

3) and, they do lose energy due to friction in collisions

4) and, they are slightly attracted to each other

5) their energy is really only dependent on temperature

If a Real gas is at a high temperature and low pressure, it behaves very much like an Ideal gas .

Ideal Gas

At high temperatures, the molecules have a lot of energy – hard to notice really small losses and they can escape any attraction to another molecule.

At low pressures, the molecules are not forced close to each other

– so volume doesn’t matter and they are not close enough to be attracted very much to each other.

Real Gas

Gas Variables

The amount (moles not volume) of a gas.

The volume (in liters).

The pressure

The temperature

Amount (n)

The quantity of gas in a given sample is expressed as moles of gas.

1 mole = molar mass = 6.02 x 10 23 molecules

Volume

The volume of the gas is simply the volume of the container it is contained in.

The metric unit of volume is the liter (L)

Pressure

The pressure of a gas is the force exerted on the wall of the container a gas is trapped in.

There are several units for pressure depending on the instrument used to measure it including:

Atmospheres, kiloPascals, and millimeters of Mercury

Pressure Units

Atmospheres – atm kiloPascals – kPa millimeters of Mercury – mm Hg

1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 760 mm Hg

Temperature

The temperature of a gas is generally measured with a thermometer in Celsius.

All calculations involving gases should be made after converting the Celsius to

Kelvin temperature .

Kelvin = C° + 273

Moles (n) and volume are constant

The pressure increases when temperature increases because the molecules are moving with greater speed and colliding against the sides of their containers more often.

Therefore, the pressure inside that container is greater, because there are more collisions.
