I. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
A. Real Gases vs. Ideal Gases:

Ideal gas = an imaginary gas that conforms perfectly to all the assumptions of the kineticmolecular theory
• We will assume that the gases used for the gas law problems are ideal gases.
Real gas = a gas that does not behave completely according to the assumptions of the kineticmolecular theory.
• All real gases deviate to some degree from ideal gas behavior. However, most real
gases behave nearly ideally when their particles are sufficiently far apart and have
sufficiently high kinetic energy.
 Causes of non-ideal behavior:
• The kinetic-molecular theory is more likely to hold true for gases whose particles have NO
attraction for each other.
1. High pressure (low volume):
• Space taken up by gas particles becomes significant
•
Intermolecular forces are more significant between gas particles that are closer
together
2. Low temperature:
• Gas particles move slower so intermolecular forces become more important

B. Kinetic Molecular Theory- Ideal Gases


Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) = the idea that particles of matter are always in motion and
that this motion has consequences.
• theory developed in the late 19th century to account for the behavior of the atoms and
molecules that make up matter
• based on the idea that particles in all forms of matter are always in motion and that this
motion has consequences
• can be used to explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases in terms of the energy
of particles and the forces that act between them
KMT describing particles in an IDEAL gas:
• have no volume.
• have elastic collisions.
• are in constant, random motion.
• don’t attract or repel each other.
• have an avg. KE directly related to Kelvin temperature.
C. Kinetic Molecular Theory- Real Gases

KMT describing particles in a REAL gas:
• have their own volume
• attract each other

Gas behavior is most ideal…
at low pressures
at high temperatures
in nonpolar atoms/molecules
D. Characteristics of Gases- using KMT

Gases expand to fill any container.
• KMT - gas particles move rapidly in all directions without significant attraction or
repulsion between particles

Gases are fluids (like liquids).
• KMT - No significant attraction or repulsion between gas particles; glide past each other

Gases have very low densities.
• KMT - particles are so much farther apart in the gas state

Gases can be compressed.
• KMT - gas particles are far apart from one another with room to be “squished” together
Gases undergo diffusion & effusion.
• KMT – gas particles move in continuous, rapid, random motion

E. Temperature



Always use Kelvin temperature when working with gases.

Why do gases exert pressure?
• Gas particles exert a pressure on any surface with which they collide!
o More collisions = increase in pressure!
Barometer = measures atmospheric pressure
• The height of the Hg in the tube depends on the pressure
• The pressure of the atmosphere is proportional to the height of the Hg column, so the
height of the Hg can be used to measure atmospheric pressure!


Real life application: When you breathe, your diaphragm moves downward, increasing the volume
of the lungs. This causes the pressure inside the lungs to be less than the outside pressure so air
rushes in.
Ex: Halving the volume leads to twice the rate of collisions and a doubling of the pressure.

As the volume increases, the pressure decreases!

 Read over your notes and rework your class/homework assignments. A “Gas Formula Sheet” will be given to you
to use on the test. You will do “Mole-tastic” on this test if you can do the following things.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GASES
 Identify the 5 assumptions of Kinetic Molecular Theory.
 Explain the difference between real and ideal gases.
 What characteristics of real gases conflict with KMT?
 What conditions favor ideal gas behavior and why?
 Identify the common characteristics of gases & explain using KMT.
 Define STP and make temperature and pressure conversions.
THE GAS LAWS
 Define Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, & Guy-Lussac’s Law:
 Which properties are involved and what is their relationship?
 Graphical analysis of the relationships
 Calculate and predict using the gas laws- Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, Guy-Lussac’s Law & Combined Gas Law.
IDEAL GAS LAW
 Define Avogadro’s Principle.
 Solve problems using the Ideal Gas Law.
STANDARD MOLAR VOLUME, GAS DENSITY, MOLAR MASS CALCULATIONS
 Define standard molar volume
 Solve problems for density, volume and molar mass.
 For an ideal gas:
Density (at STP) =
molar mass
standard molar volume
DALTON’S LAW & GRAHAM’S LAW
 Define diffusion, effusion, Dalton’s Law, and Graham’s Law.
