Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

Since gas molecules are so far apart, we can assume that they behave independently.

Dalton’s Law: in a gas mixture, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of each component:

PTotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + . . .

Using Dalton’s Law: Collecting Gases over Water

Commonly we synthesize gas and collect it by displacing water, i.e. bubbling gas into an inverted container

4

Using Dalton’s Law: Collecting Gases over Water

To calculate the amount of gas produced, we need to correct for the partial pressure of water: Ptotal = Pgas + Pwater

For a to help prevent “the bends”. For a particular dive, 46 L of He at 25°C and particular dive, 46 L of He at 25°C and 1.0 atm and 12 L of O1.0 atm and 12 L of O22 at 25°C and 1.0 at 25°C and 1.0 atm were each pumped into a tank with atm were each pumped into a tank with a volume of 5.0 L.

Kinetic Molecular Theory

1.Gases consist of a large number of molecules in constant motion.

2.Volume of individual particles is zero.3.Collisions of particles with container

walls cause pressure exerted by gas.4.Particles exert no forces on each other.

5.Average kinetic energy Kelvin temperature of a gas.

Developed to explain gas behavior

7

Kinetic Molecular Theory

As the kinetic energy increases, the average velocity of the gas increases

8

Kinetic Molecular Theory: Applications to Gases

As volume of a gas increases:

the KEavg of the gas remains constant.

the gas molecules have to travel further to hit the walls of the container.

the pressure decreases

9

Kinetic Molecular Theory: App’s to Gases (continued)

If the temperature increases at constant V:

the KEavg of the gas increases

there are more collisions with the container walls

the pressure increases

Kinetic Molecular Theory: App’s to Gases (continued)

effusion is the escape of a gas through a tiny hole (air escaping through a latex balloon)

the rate of effusion can be quantified

Kinetic Molecular Theory: App’s to Gases (continued)

The Effusion of a Gas into an Evacuated Chamber

12

Diffusion: describes the mixing of gases. The rate of diffusion is the rate of gas mixing.

Diffusion is slowed by gas molecules colliding with each other.

Real Gases

Real Gases do not behave exactly as Ideal Gases. For one mole of a real gas,

PV/RT differs from 1 mole. The higher the pressure, the greater

the deviation from ideal behavior

Real Gases

Chemists must correct for non-ideal gas behavior when at high pressure (smaller volume) and low temperature (attractive forces become important).

The assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory show where real gases fail to behave like ideal gases:

The molecules of gas each take up space

The molecules of gas do attract each other
