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

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

• 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
