Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry

The Law of Combining Volumes When gases measured at the same temperature and pressure react,

the volumes of gaseous reactants and products are in small whole-number ratios.

Example: At a given temperature and pressure, 2.00 L of H2 will react with 1.00 L of O2

Each flask contains the same number of molecules. Therefore, the

ratio of volumes is the same as the mole ratio from the balanced

equation: 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O

Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry

We can use the law of combining volumes for

stoichiometry only for gases and only if the

gases are at the same temperature and

pressure.

Otherwise, we must use stoichiometric

methods from Chapter 3 – combined with the

ideal gas equation.

Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry

Example

How many liters of O2(g) are consumed for every

10.0 L of CO2(g) produced in the combustion of

liquid pentane, C5H12, if all volumes are measured

at the same temperature and pressure?

C5H12(l) + 8O2(g) 5 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)

8 L O2 10.0 L CO2 x ———— = 16.0 L O2 5 L CO2

Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry

As in other stoichiometry calculations, the problem centers around the mole ratio:

• If A is a gas, we find moles of A first by using the ideal gas equation and P, V, and T.

• If B is a gas, we solve for moles of B (n), then use the ideal gas equation to find P, V, or T.

Section 5.4 Gas Stoichiometry

Example

In the chemical reaction used in automotive air-bag safety

systems, N2(g) is produced by the decomposition of sodium

azide, NaN3(s), at a somewhat elevated temperature:

2 NaN3(s) 2 Na(l) + 3 N2(g)

What volume of N2(g), measured at 25⁰C and 0.980 atm, is

produced by the decomposition of 62.5 g NaN3? 1 mol NaN3 3 mol N2 62.5 g NaN3 x ————— x ————— = 1.44 mol N2 65.01 g NaN3 2 mol NaN3

PV = nRT

(0.980 atm)(V) = (1.44 mol)(0.08206 L-atm/mol-K) (273+25K)

V = 35.9 L N2

Section 5.8 Real Gases

Real Gases and van der Waals Equation

An ideal gas is a hypothetical concept. No gas exactly follows the ideal gas law.

Real gas molecules do have volume, and the molecules of real gases do experience attractive forces.

Gases behave most like ideal gases at low pressure, high

temperature.

n2 a (P + —— ) (V-nb) = nRT V2

‘a’ and ‘b’ are constants derived from experimental results a has units of L2atm/mol2

b has units of L/mol.

Corrected pressure

Corrected volume

Two corrective Factors:

1. n2a/V2 alters the pressure

•It accounts for the intermolecular attractive forces between gas molecules

•A low value for a reflects weak IM forces; a high value reflects stronger IM forces.

2. nb alters the volume

• It accounts for the volume occupied by the gas molecules

• The value of b is generally much lower than a

• The value of b generally increases with the size of the molecule

(P + 12.6)(0.493) = 30.6 P + 12.6 = 62.1 P = 49.5 atm

Predict which substance has the largest "b" constant: NH3, N2, CH2Cl2, Cl2, CCl4

• The value of b constant is merely the actual volume of the gas.

• A larger molecular volume results in a larger b value.

• From the compound in the list, CCl4 is the largest so it will have the greatest b constant.

1.Using Van der Waals equation, calculate the temperature of 20.0 mole of helium in a 10.0 liter cylinder at 120 atm.

• Van der Waals constants for helium:

• a = 0.0341 L2 at mol-2; b = 0.0237 L mol-1

2. Compare this value with the temperature calculated from the ideal gas equation.

• (i) Using the Van der Waals equation: • Substituting in

(P + an2/V2)(V - nb) = nRT, P = 120 atm n = 20.0 mol V = 10.0 L

• (120 + 0.0341 x (20.0/10.0)2)(10.0 - 20.0 x 0.0237) = 20.0 x 0.0821 x T • [Note the value of R = 0.0821 because P is in atm and V in L]

(120 + 0.1364)(10.0 - 0.5) = 1.64 x T T = 696 K [Note that the correction to P is not significant as T is well above the temperature at which helium gas will liquefy while the volume correction is significant due to the high pressure.]

• (ii) Using the Ideal Gas Equation: Substituting in PV = nRT, 120 x 10.0 = 20.0 x 0.0821 x T T = 1200/1.642

• = 731 K
