Convert a temperature to Kelvin Importance of Gases • Airbags fill with N2 gas in an accident. • Gas is generated by the decomposition of sodium azide, NaN3. • 2 NaN3 ---> 2 Na + 3 N2 THREE STATES OF MATTER General Properties of Gases • There is a lot of “free” space in a gas. • Gases can be expanded infinitely. • Gases fill containers uniformly and completely. • Gases diffuse and mix rapidly. To Review Gases expand to fill their containers Gases are fluid – they flow Gases have low density 1/1000 the density of the equivalent liquid or solid Gases are compressible Gases effuse and diffuse Properties of Gases Gas properties can be modeled using math. This model depends on — • V = volume of the gas (L) • T = temperature (K) – ALL temperatures in the entire unit MUST be in Kelvin!!! No Exceptions! • n = amount (moles) • P = pressure (atmospheres) Ideal Gases Ideal gases are imaginary gases that perfectly fit all of the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory. Gases consist of tiny particles that are far apart relative to their size. Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the walls of the container are elastic collisions No kinetic energy is lost in elastic collisions Ideal Gases (continued) Gas particles are in constant, rapid motion. They therefore possess kinetic energy, the energy of motion There are no forces of attraction between gas particles The average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature, not on the identity of the particle. Pressure Is caused by the collisions of molecules with the walls of a container Is equal to force/unit area SI units = Newton/meter2 = 1 Pascal (Pa) 1 atmosphere = 101,325 Pa 1 atmosphere = 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr 1 atm = 29.92 in Hg = 14.7 psi = 0.987 bar = 10 m column of water. Measuring Pressure The first device for measuring atmospheric pressure was developed by Evangelista Torricelli during the 17th century. The device was called a “barometer” Baro = weight Meter = measure An Early Barometer The normal pressure due to the atmosphere at sea level can support a column of mercury that is 760 mm high. Pressure Column height measures Pressure of atmosphere • 1 standard atmosphere (atm) * = 760 mm Hg (or torr) * = 29.92 inches Hg * = 14.7 pounds/in2 (psi) = 101.325 kPa (SI unit is PASCAL) = about 34 feet of water! And now, we pause for this commercial message from STP OK, so it’s really not THIS kind of STP… STP in chemistry stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure Standard Pressure = 1 atm (or an equivalent) Standard Temperature = 0 deg C (273 K) STP allows us to compare amounts of gases between different pressures and temperatures Let’s Review: Standard Temperature and Pressure “STP” P = 1 atmosphere, 760 torr T = 0C, 273 Kelvins The molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.42 liters at STP Pressure Conversions A. What is 475 mm Hg expressed in atm? 475 mm Hg x 1 atm 760 mm Hg = 0.625 atm B. The pressure of a tire is measured as 29.4 psi. What is this pressure in mm Hg? 29.4 psi x 760 mm Hg 14.7 psi = 1.52 x 103 mm Hg Pressure Conversions – Your Turn A. What is 2.00 atm expressed in torr? 2.00 atm x 760 torr 1 atm = 1520 torr B. The pressure of a tire is measured as 32.0 psi. What is this pressure in kPa? 32.0 psi x 101.325 kPa 14.7 psi = 221 kPa Converting Celsius to Kelvin Gas law problems involving temperature require that the temperature be in KELVINS! Kelvins = C + 273 °C = Kelvins - 273 Gas Laws: Boyle’s and Charles’ Law At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to: 1. Describe Boyle’s Law with a formula. 2. Use Boyle’s Law to determine either a pressure or volume 3. Describe Charles’ Law with a formula. 4. Use Charles’ Law to determine either a temperature or volume Boyle’s Law P α 1/V This means Pressure and Volume are INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL if moles and temperature are constant (do not change). For example, P goes up as V goes down. PV PV 1 1 2 2 Robert Boyle (1627-1691). Son of Earl of Cork, Ireland. Boyle’s Law Summary Pressure is inversely proportional to volume when temperature is held constant. PV PV 1 1 2 2 Boyle’s Law Example A bicycle pump is a good example of Boyle’s law. As the volume of the air trapped in the pump is reduced, its pressure goes up, and air is forced into the tire.

Use the Combined Gas Law to determine either temperature, volume or pressure Gay-Lussac’s Law If n and V are constant, then P α T P and T are directly proportional. P1 P2 T1 T2 • If one temperature goes up, the pressure goes up! Joseph Louis GayLussac (1778-1850) Gay Lussac’s Law Summary The pressure and temperature of a gas are directly related, provided that the volume remains constant.

Combined Gas Law • The good news is that you don’t have to remember all three gas laws! Since they are all related to each other, we can combine them into a single equation. BE SURE YOU KNOW THIS EQUATION! PV PV 1 1 2 2 T1 T2 No, it’s not related to R2D2 The Combined Gas Law The combined gas law expresses the relationship between pressure, volume and temperature of a fixed amount of gas. PV PV 1 1 2 2 T1 T2 Boyle’s law, Gay-Lussac’s law, and Charles’ law are all derived from this by holding a variable constant. Combined Gas Law If you should only need one of the other gas laws, you can cover up the item that is constant and you will get that gas law! P1 V1= T1 P2 V2 T2 Boyle’s Law Charles’ Law Gay-Lussac’s Law Combined Gas Law Problem A sample of helium gas has a volume of 0.180 L, a pressure of 0.800 atm and a temperature of 29°C.

Use the Ideal Gas Law to determine either moles, pressure, temperature or volume 5. Explain the Kinetic Molecular Theory Avogadro’s Law Equal volumes of gases at the same T and P have the same number of molecules. V = an V and n are directly related. twice as many molecules Avogadro’s Law Summary For a gas at constant temperature and pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas (at low pressures). V = an a = proportionality constant V = volume of the gas n = number of moles of gas Standard Molar Volume Equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. - Amedeo Avogadro Avogadro’s Law Practice #1 V1 V2 n1 n2 4.00 L 7.12 L 0.21 mol n2 0.37 mol total 0.16 mol added IDEAL GAS LAW PV=nRT Brings together gas properties. Can be derived from experiment and theory. BE SURE YOU KNOW THIS EQUATION! Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT P = pressure in atm V = volume in liters n = moles R = proportionality constant = 0.08206 L atm/ mol·K T = temperature in Kelvins Holds closely at P < 1 atm Review of Kinetic Molecular Theory Particles of matter are ALWAYS in motion Volume of individual particles is zero. Collisions of particles with container walls cause pressure exerted by gas. Particles exert no forces on each other. Average kinetic energy Kelvin temperature of a gas. Deviations from Ideal Gas Law • Real molecules have volume. The ideal gas consumes the entire amount of available volume. It does not account for the volume of the molecules themselves. • There are intermolecular forces. An ideal gas assumes there are no attractions between molecules. Attractions slow down the molecules and reduce the amount of collisions. – Otherwise a gas could not condense to become a liquid. R is a constant, called the Ideal Gas Constant Instead of learning a different value for R for all the possible unit combinations, we can just memorize one value and convert the units to match R. R = 0.08206 L • atm mol • K Using PV = nRT How much N2 is required to fill a small room with a volume of 960 cubic feet (27,000 L) to 745 mm Hg at 25 oC? Solution 1. Get all data into proper units V = 27,000 L T = 25 oC + 273 = 298 K P = 745 mm Hg (1 atm/760 mm Hg) = 0.98 atm And we always know R, 0.08206 L atm / mol K Using PV = nRT How much N2 is required to fill a small room with a volume of 960 cubic feet (27,000 L) to P = 745 mm Hg at 25 oC? Solution 2. Now plug in those values and solve for the unknown. PV = nRT RT RT (0.98 atm)(2.7 x 104 L) n = (0.0821 L• atm/K • mol)(298 K) n = 1.1 x 103 mol (or about 30 kg of gas) Ideal Gas Law Problems #1 (5.6 atm) (12 L) (4 mol) (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)(T) 200 K Gas Laws: Dalton’s Law At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to: 1. Explain Dalton’s Law 2. Use Dalton’s Law to solve a problem Dalton’s Law John Dalton 1766-1844 Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures For a mixture of gases in a container, PTotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + . . . This is particularly useful in calculating the pressure of gases collected over water. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures 2 H2O2 (l) ---> 2 H2O (g) + O2 (g) 0.32 atm 0.16 atm What is the total pressure in the flask? Ptotal in gas mixture = PA + PB + ... Therefore, Ptotal = PH2O + PO2 = 0.48 atm Dalton’s Law: total P is sum of PARTIAL pressures. Gases in the Air The % of gases in air Partial pressure (STP) 78.08% N2 593.4 mm Hg 20.95% O2 159.2 mm Hg 0.94% Ar 7.1 mm Hg 0.03% CO2 0.2 mm Hg PAIR = PN + PO + PAr + PCO = 760 mm Hg 2 2 2 Total Pressure = 760 mm Hg Collecting a gas “over water” • Gases, since they mix with other gases readily, must be collected in an environment where mixing can not occur. The easiest way to do this is under water because water displaces the air. So when a gas is collected “over water”, that means the container is filled with water and the gas is bubbled through the water into the container. Thus, the pressure inside the container is from the gas AND the water vapor. This is where Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures becomes useful. Table of Vapor Pressures for Water Solve This! A student collects some hydrogen gas over water at 20 degrees C and 768 torr. What is the pressure of the H2 gas? 768 torr – 17.5 torr = 750.5 torr Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures Also, for a mixture of gases in a container, because P, V and n are directly proportional if the other gas law variables are kept constant: nTotal = n1 + n2 + n3 + . . . VTotal = V1 + V2 + V3 + . . . This is useful in solving problems with differing numbers of moles or volumes of the gases that are mixed together.
